To me it is unexpected that XBox Game Studios games have BC problems with their new console...
I would have expected them to be rock solid from first day any external user got to use their system
These aren't problems.

I think most people who suspend games, save them beforehand.This is why I always save my games and quit them and will never trust quick resume. If by chance a game crashes like State of Decay 2 then you'll lose all the progress from when you last saved. I do the same thing on X currently. I believe Jeff from Giant Bomb brought this up too.
I can't speak for the console version but the PC one has been great.Maybe gears. For halo I hope so but I won't hold my breath, that game can't catch a break.
Weird that Halo and Gears doesn't fall back to hardware BC.
edit: How solidly is the Xbox hardware itself backwards compatible excluding emulation & patches?
Yeah, OP still seems very concerned about something instead of just posting the video and let people actually take in the video unbiased. Because if you watch the video and get "XBOX BC has problems and crashes" then I don't know what to tell you.OP gets called out by everyone including Verified media with access to the console, says sorry and will edit the OP, but just changes "BC incapabilities to BC problems."
🤔
Lmao
Multiple game crashes, but also [Edit: currently, at this very moment] BC incompatible games
Halo Master Chief Collection
Gears 5
Forza (Horizon 4) - mentioned, no start attempt

Yeah, digital foundry demonstrated this by running Assassin's Creed Unity on Series X.Do it's not native BC?
If I insert a disc offline will it work?

We still don't know if you quick resume after the update, she hasn't showed it.So if I have a game on quick resume and it gets an update it just crashes? Would make me kinda paranoid.
Yeah, I wish more people would mention this, though, as I feel that many people think that they're legitimately just not compatible when it's probably more likely that Microsoft just doesn't want people to think that the "enhancements" are limited to how they work without their proper enhancement patches.It is confirmed, games like Forza and Gears doesn't work on purpose since they are waiting to release the optimization patch.
Thank you this is what I wanted too knowYour question isn't very specific. If you insert an OG Xbox Game or a 360 game, it downloads the game to the system (the disc is just a key). Games on the current/next-gen systems aren't going to run off the disc at all.
As for BC games this gen and next, they've always downloaded the game package offline, they've never just ran off the disc you put in (as far as I know). None of the BC games I have (I have hundreds) have ever ran off the disc or just by putting it in from scratch.
So no, BC OG Xbox/360 games don NOT work if you're offline. I don't know about XB1 games on Series X. They most likely work like normal Series X games.
I think it would be safe to assume that what is essentially the RAM dump- will not work if the games executable /package has been changed by a patch.We still don't know if you quick resume after the update, she hasn't showed it.

Lol why must it be equated to the PlayStation?Just as it will be the same for PlayStation, so to is it expected that the Series X & S will take some fine tuning with backwards compatible titles to make them work properly on this and future platforms.
Nice to see coverage of the console, warts and all though. Highlighting these issues publicly will draw attention to them and get them sorted out quicker, which is better for everyone.
I guess so, then that's quite annoying if it happens and you haven't saved from a quick resume, not that I think I wouldn't save before changing games or shutting of the console anyway because of habit alone and not enough trust in the tech.I think it would be safe to assume that what is essentially the RAM dump- will not work if the games executable /package has been changed by a patch.
The don't have problems. All games with the exception of Kinect games will work. The preview program is artificially limited in scope and as someone in here said they get hundred more games each week. Unless you think the MS BC team can test hundreds of games each week, than there is no technical issue to this.To me it is unexpected that XBox Game Studios games have BC problems with their new console...
.that is wrong. I haven't watched video so I'm not sure if that's how they're characterized. press is receiving firmware updates that enable 200-500 BC games per update roughly once a week. if it's currently not playable for us, that does NOT mean it will not be part of BC suite; we've been told to expect everything that works on Xbox One X to work on this.
Of course and yes it's native iirc. Unlike 360 and OG, those are emulated.Do it's not native BC?
If I insert a disc offline will it work?
What? Who are you talking to and why not watch the video before posting?The Mr. who called sony out for their bad messaging regarding BC,...please hold your horses next time...
Backwards compatibility is a complicated thing. I have no doubt PS4 BC on PS5 will have some quirks to it just like Xbox BC does.
At the moment thankfully but every time they add a title its a mess. I hope that crossplay patch comes soon because it sucks its impossible to find competitive matches.I can't speak for the console version but the PC one has been great.
In the preview program of the journalist and influencers they need to be. I don't think this will be the case once November 10 hits.I didn't realize games needed to be whitelisted. I know there's a patch coming but I would think those game would have just worked in BC without the series x enhancements.
