Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

YSK: How Backwards Compatibility works on Xbox One

Ever since it was announced at E3, backwards compatibility has been a hot topic and the source of many questions from gamers eager to see the new functionality.

Microsoft has released a video clip in which Xbox Live's Major Nelson chats with Bill Stillwell from the platform team about how it all works and what we can expect. In the relatively short clip it is revealed how achievements, dashboard, game saves, digital copies, and disc copies will all work. The video also shows how fast the emulation works by demonstrating the original Borderlands in action.



Backwards compatibility is available now for those in the preview program and is expected to be officially released this coming holiday season.
