Good, then you don't have anything to worry about with your multi-platform games on Xbox One, because they're EXISTING Xbox One games and hence exist, thus meaning that they'll work on Xbox Series X. I'm sure Microsoft would update its main information page on its new system if they intended to backtrack.
There's a USB to kinect dongle. It's a long shot, but it's not impossible.
They said "across" generations and only ever promised games compatible on Xbox One would continue forward. That's why they stopped adding new games to Back Compat, as they wanted to focus on the way forward. Also, they only promised Xbox One accessories.
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 Series X. Let me highlight Phil's quote a few weeks ago (Link below) making this seem even less promised:
`"I'm trying it. It's in active development, sometimes it reboots. Not all the games today are completely compatible. We're working through our list of approved games on it. You can see what I'm playing; there's tons of games that work," Spencer said.
Then someone made a sort of reaction thread quoting a member here who is verified and from "Xbox" initially saying today "Every single game" would work that works on XB1. But he didn't mean to confuse and updated us with his sources, which are the Xbox blogs below that don't explicitly say 100%/all/every. He added the following:
I'm repeating what Xbox Wire and Phil have publicly said is the goal. 4 generations of compatibility and your games all come with you. I'm not on the team and am not confirming anything that hasn't already been confirmed.
So we are left with the original sources below that had a thread earlier but were locked up in the confusion:

But then I thought, have I been too generous with reading Xbox's comments too? I had.
They haven't promised every game. They have said Xbox One games will work, but not every game. "Thousands" but not all. From the blog a few weeks ago:
`Backward Compatibility – At Xbox, we've made a promise to compatibility: you can expect thousands of your favorite games across four generations of gaming, your Xbox One gaming accessories, your Xbox gaming legacy, and industry-leading services like Xbox Game Pass to work with Xbox Series X. Backward compatible games will benefit from the power and performance of Xbox Series X, resulting in steadier framerates, faster load times, improved resolution and visual fidelity. Fans and game creators can feel confident they will be able to play and create the best.

I'd love to read this as promising all Xbox One games work... but that blog post doesn't go quite there. There's legal outs like saying "thousands."
But ok, you read my skepticism and think "he's crazy, it's promising every Xbox One game on day one."
I dug more and found Phil said this last month:

Xbox Series X: Phil Spencer Discusses How "Tons" Of Games Are Already Backwards Compatible With Console
Phil Spencer has been using an Xbox Series X as his daily console, and says that lots of previous Xbox games are now working with the new system.www.gamespot.com
A pretty clear comment that they have to approve the games.
So I'm begging someone to show me I'm wrong and that Phil said this week EVERY or ALL Xbox One games.
He backtracked and said he was basing his post on the blogs in the OP. I posted his latest comment in the OP... he isn't sticking by the confirmation.
Can someone please direct the OP to a solid online reading comprehension course that's free and doesn't require registration or involve any other small barriers that might make it even mildly difficult to access?
Dude you gotta stop. It's becoming embarrassing at this point.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.

The games I can think of that won't work are the kinect required games like Fantasia or the xbox one version of dance central other than that there is nothing probably
I was under the impression if it's a backwards compatibility solution where it just runs old games and doesn't need them repackaged or put up for sale again or whatever, things wouldn't need to be relicensed.
