Xbox backward compatibility isn't dead, as VP Jason Ronald announces new open role at Microsoft — "Are you passionate about game preservation?"

Xbox One Backward Compatibility.

To this day, I still go back and play some of my favorite Xbox 360 games. Some of them really pop, especially when pushed to new limits through the likes of FPS Boost and upscale technology.

The original Xbox backwards compatibility program was announced during the summer of 2015. From then until its closure in 2021, the program reintroduced hundreds of games to the public at no additional cost.
