Phil Spencer would like to bring original Xbox games to Xbox One backwards compatibility

Responding to a Twitter question, Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has said he’d “like to find the time to” bring original Xbox games to Xbox One via backwards compatibility.

Despite the positive response, Spencer also points out Microsoft isn’t “working on it right now”:

The Xbox One can currently play a host of Xbox 360 titles via backwards compatibility. The Xbox 360 itself supported backwards compatibility of original Xbox games.

We’ll keep you posted.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
