The next gen “war” is heating up and with Microsoft pretty much conceding this generation in order to focus on Project Scarlett, or Xbox Series X as it’s now called, they have made quite a number of strong moves that not only pushes them back in contention, it also makes them look like the stronger candidate heading into the 2020 Holidays.
One such move is Backwards Compatibility, something Phil Spencer and Xbox have been preaching for quite a while now. If you’ve been playing on the Xbox ecosystem, you’ll be glad to know that the latest Series X will support backwards compatibility starting on day one for Xbox One games.
In a series of interviews with GameSpot, Microsoft executive had this to say:
“We wanted to make sure we had that, day one, we could deliver on the compatibility promise, and so I’ve been playing quite a few [Xbox 360] games on my [Xbox Series X] and Xbox One games on the [Xbox Series X] and that’s just to ensure that we can be there day one” – Phil Spencer.
Microsoft have been working on backwards compatibility for years and it seems that they are slowly reaping the benefits already, with gamers taking notice to the pro-consumer approach as they move into the next gen full steam ahead.
