Xbox Series X backwards compatibility extends to games, peripherals

13 Dec 2019

Xbox Series X backwards compatibility will support both games and peripherals, Microsoft today confirmed.

In terms of games, Microsoft took to Xbox Wire to confirm that the newly named console will support” thousands of your favorite games across four generations of gaming.”

I’m hoping that original Xbox copy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I’ve just bought is part of that number (though it’s doubtful, considering it’s not supported on Xbox One).

Microsoft also confirmed that backwards compatibility extends to “all your Xbox One gaming accessories” alongside current subscriptions like Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox Series X heads to stores in holiday 2020.

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.
