Every game you can play on Xbox One now will work at launch, unless it’s a Kinect title.
If you’re wondering exactly which Xbox games will be backwards compatible with the Xbox Series X and Series S at launch, good news: everything you can currently play on Xbox One from each Xbox generation will be compatible from launch. The only exceptions will be the “handful” of games that need Kinect – the long-gone Xbox motion controller – to run. This was revealed by Xbox’s Jason Ronald on Twitter, who says more than half a million hours of testing have been invested in ensuring backwards compatibility covers this many titles. Ronald also reiterates that these games will “look and play better” on Xbox Series X/S at launch.
