A small amount of original Xbox games are also compatible. Compatibility is entirely up to the game publisher and as such most games that get yearly releases (sports games, the WWE games, etc.) aren't compatible, though most of Microsoft's first party games are.

note 360 compatibility came back with the new Windows 10 based dashboard in 2015, however only certain games are supported. This had the side effect of removing hardware backwards compatibility with the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. Like the competing PlayStation 4, the Xbox One switched from a PowerPC chipset to a x86-64 chipset similar to contemporary PCs to allow for better PC ports. This system has considerably more power under the hood than the Xbox 360. The Xbox One integrates video games with Internet video, music, and live television - a goal Microsoft had wanted to accomplish since the original Xbox note and even before then via failed efforts such as WebTV and the Microsoft TV software for cable boxes, and which it had partially realized with the Xbox 360. Its odd name, the 'One', represents Microsoft's desire for the system to become an all-in-one living room entertainment system as well as aligning with Microsoft's 'One' branding in many of their products. It was released in North America on November 22, 2013.

The Xbox One is Microsoft's entry into The Eighth Generation of Console Video Games.
