Microsoft announces Xbox One to become backwards compatible

During Microsoft’s E3 press conference, Microsoft announced that Xbox One will soon be getting an update to allow Xbox 360 games to be playable. Any digital Xbox 360 games that are already attached to your gamertag will automatically begin appearing in your Xbox One games library shortly.

Microsoft also demonstrated that certain Xbox One features would also be usable with Xbox 360 games, with the example of screenshot capture being shown for Mass Effect. Microsoft also proudly announced that playing your existing Xbox 360 games on Xbox One will not cost anything, as gamers will not be charged to play Xbox 360 games they already own.
