Backward-Compatible Games for Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 video game console features limited backward compatibility with select titles from the original Xbox system's library. Software emulation is required for Xbox 360 backward compatibility, with the list of compatible titles growing through periodic system software updates. As of August 2010, the Xbox 360 has been made compatible with more than 400 original Xbox titles. In order to play many of the titles included on the Xbox 360 backward-compatibility list, a console must be connected to a broadband Internet connection so it can receive the necessary updates.

  1. Halo

    • The Bungie-developed "Halo" series is compatible with the Xbox 360 console. Both the original "Halo," "Halo 2" and "Halo 2" multiplayer map pack can be used on the Xbox 360 console. Offering science fiction-based first person shooting action and extensive multiplayer modes, the "Halo" franchise continued on the Xbox 360 with the release of "Halo 3," "Halo Wars," "Halo ODST" and the 2010 release of "Halo: Reach."
