There was also this and this. It also got brought up several times in Playstation backwards compatibility threads.We had:
It appears no one at Xbox has actually promised every XB1 game will be allowed to boot on Series X yet
Ok so we’ve had back and forth threads but it’s gotten muddy so I got a reply on a mod report I made saying I can make a thread to directly address this lack of confirmation. Earlier I posted sources that show no one at Xbox themselves has claimed all your Xbox One games will be playable on...www.resetera.com
How many more threads will we get on the topic of backwards compatibility tonight? I hear Vegas has the line set at 2.5. I'll take the over.
Definitive statement, clear messaging, no fears about games being left behind on Xbox One.
Really wish Sony were able to match Microsoft on this one.
The curse of the 3rd console and redemption of the 4th. Good times.It's a pendulum. Gamers are fickle af. Around the time I joined GAF it seemed people were very critical of PS3 and favored 360. Obviously not the case for most of the current gen but here we are. Funny how that works.
They learned that lesson the hard way in 2013. It won't happen again. Their message has been clear and on point so far.I don't think MS is going to allow fud to set in like 2013
Nice try to the concern trolls though
It really is amazing how console brands go through this eternal cycle of success -> overconfidence -> failure -> humility -> success. Xbox is just nailing it now because they know they have to. It sounds like this new Xbox is everything a modern platform can and should be.

No it was FUD it's been confirmed multiple times over the past months. He made 2 damn threads about it today. That's not normal.from what i know of him, bad is not a console warrior or a concern troll. he just wanted things to be cleared up, and now they are. it's unfair to call him out for those things when he was bringing up some valid inconsistencies in what was said.
Lol love how people are smacking down Era console warriors today
What the fuck is going on in this forum today, they have confirmed that like 1000 times.
Jim Ryan needs to wake up.
I have zero plans on buying the Series X but MS is killing it.
What the fuck is Sony doing.
He had not looked at the DF hands on with the console, which had info about this, and questioned it citing an article from February. But okay.from what i know of him, bad is not a console warrior or a concern troll. he just wanted things to be cleared up, and now they are. it's unfair to call him names just because he was bringing up some inconsistencies in what was said.
It's so fucking refreshing compared to what we're used to... everyone tip-toeing because they're afraid of getting clipped if they say the obvious.Lol love how people are smacking down Era console warriors today
i know it looks that way, but i know for a fact that wasn't his intention. either way, now the situation is fully clear.No it was FUD it's been confirmed multiple times over the past months. He made 2 damn threads about it today. That's not normal.
I like the approach of silencing silly console wars rumors with a clear and upfront statement that leaves nothing to interpretation.
I also want to reiterate just how grateful I am to have the backwards compatibility program on Xbox. I've spent so much time playing old 360 and OG Xbox games on my 1X and a ton of them look amazing with enhanced resolutions and frame rates. It really is a relief to know that my $100s if not $1000s worth of digital content on my Xbox live account will transfer over to my new Xbox series x.

And this is one of several reasons I love the current Xbox ecosystem. I want my games to move with me across generations.
And to give their competition a confirmed marketing point prior to even pre-orders going up? No chanceI'm going to wager that the reason why Sony is being coy about BC is because it won't be every past gen game, like it will be with Xbox.
Which is dumb. They might as well get the bad news out of the way early. It's going to come out anyways.
