"The future of gaming does not forget its past." [Xbox]
Since November 2015, the Xbox One's backwards compatibility program lets you play Xbox 360 games on the new console (for free). Note that soon, for the first time, you will also be able to play classic Original Xbox games on Xbox one. The list of games will certainly be implemented with new games soon, as Microsoft is holding discussions with all major publishers and developers.
If you played one of the following games on Xbox 360, the digital title that you own will show up in the "Ready to install" section on your Xbox One. You can also insert the disc in the case of a disc-based game and the console will download the game.
A quick overview of the games you can rediscover on the new platform...
