The backwards compatibility program has been live since November 12. It allows gamers to play a selection of 360 games on the Xbox One. In order to do this, you must have an Xbox Live Gold account, and you must have owned the game for the 360. Your digital purchases will show up automatically and be ready for download. For disc-based games, you need to put the disc in the console and leave it there while you play. Currently there are more than 100 titles available in the program, with more to be added down the line. If you’ve got a game you’d like to join the list, you can submit a suggestion to Microsoft.
