How many Xbox one or PS4 games do you own?
Nearly 400 PS4 Games. Lost count of how much money I’ve wasted. Must be in the thousands. I hate Sony now. On top of all the other BS, they don’t offer refunds on pre-orders before the game comes out anymore. Essentially you’re stuck with it. About 35 Xbox One Games. I only care about 5 of them. So hundreds of dollars wasted here. I’m not too happy with Microsoft either. Banning people and possible license repossessions on any/all games for using offensive language? Get real. I own 5 Games on the Switch. Three of them I absolutely love. Two of them I’m just not into. So I potentially wasted $22.98 on that one. Currently a Nintendo fanboy. Only dirt I can find on them is the YouTube copyright controversy and personally that doesnt bother me as much as Pre-Orders, Season Passes, Microtransactions and other BS the gaming industry wants to forcefully throw me into.
Can Xbox One play Xbox 360 games?
I am afraid Xbox One is not backward compatible so you can not play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One and there is no chance that they will change this feature for quite some time. However there are many new games which are available in both Xbox 360 format and Xbox One format as well. There is an exception of few games which are not available for both formats and GTA V is one example which is only available on current gen console and are not planned to released on Xbox One. Here are some of the best games which are available on both consoles, some of them are only for Xbox One: http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&... However there are stores which are offering the facilities of exchanging only those games which are available in both formats and they exchange a used Xbox 360 game for the Xbox One version of same game and charging a very small difference of money for that facility.
How do I stop game sharing on Xbox One?
Reading the previous answers, I felt it was only right I answered with the correct answer.To fully understand how to stop sharing, it’s important to understand exactly how it works in the first place.Game sharing is achieved by setting someone else’s console (usually a friend) as your ‘home’ console. This allows any account on that console to play your games without needing a license (without needing to own the game).Typically a lot of people will reciprocate the offer and set your console as their ‘home’ console thus allowing you to play their games without owning them yourself.There are some drawbacks however. First off you have to physically sign in to the other persons Xbox which means either going to them and doing it yourself or trusting them with your login info. This is ill advised if you don’t completely trust the other person.Secondly, as Microsoft dictates that only one console can be your home console, if your friends console is set as your home console and you lose internet connectivity then you’ll be unable to play any games you own digitally unless they’re also owned by another account on the console you’re using locally.To completely stop game sharing, all you need to do is set your local console as your home console. Provided you’re connected to the internet, your console will propagate this change across Xbox Live and remove any other console as your home console. This means nobody else will be taking advantage of the games you own.Interestingly though because of how game sharing works, unless the third party (your friend etc) does the same thing as above, you’ll continue to have access to their digital games library.
Should i buy a pre owned xbox one?
Why didn't you contact Microsoft to fix your Xbox One? It was probably still under warranty so the repair would have been free. I don't recommend buying used game consoles because you don't get a warranty and you have no guarantees about how the console was treated by the previous owner.
Can I get Steam games on my Xbox 1?
No.Unfortunately, consoles are not PCs. You can’t just say “fuck Microsoft, fuck XBL, I’m going to buy and download games from another company” (and the same for Sony and PSN).Microsoft built the console in mind with XBL being the one and only marketplace/delivery network they allow XB1 owners to use, and has no interest in allowing you to give your patronage and money to a third party.Some cross-platform games had XB1 versions released, and you can buy those. If there’s no XB1 release, your only option is to get a PC of your own (orrrr a Mac, but you’d be paying more for less there).If you want to play a game that is only available on Steam, your only option is to get - or build - a PC . It’s not the multi-thousand dollar expense some people ten to portray it as - think of those expensive shiny rigs as analogous to Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces of the automotive industry: showy and way more expensive than what most consumers actually use.EDIT: As of March 2019, you can use your Xbox to stream games from your PC. In that scenario, the game is installed on your PC and runs on said PC while your Xbox acts as a glorified streaming box with a controller.No, contrary to what some would have you believe that is not the same as getting the game to run on the Xbox and it does nothing for those of you who don’t own a gaming PC they can use in such a setup.
Xbox 360 compatible with Xbox One games?
No that would be "Forward compatibility" which doesn't exist. If the older hardware of the XBox 360 could play Xbox One games, why would anyone buy the Xbox One? As for Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One, only some of the games are compatible. You can get the list from Xbox.com. If you have a compatible Xbox 360 game disc, simply insert it into your XBox One. The game will be added to your Xbox Live account, and will be downloaded. You will still need the game disc to start the game, but it will then continue playing the downloaded version on your hard drive. If you had purchased a digital version of a XBox 360 game that is compatible on the XBox One, log into your Xbox One with that same XBox Live account. You will then be able to download the XBox 360 game, and then play it as you did on the Xbox 360. Either way, when playing an Xbox 360 game on your Xbox One, you can play online but only with other people playing the XBox 360 version of this game.
