List of Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360

When a video game company creates a new console with the ability to play games of an earlier game system, it is mostly planned that the console should be backwards compatible at launch. But in Microsoft's case, the Xbox 360's being able to play Xbox games is an afterthought as that was not applied initially. As a result, only a fraction of the games developed compatibility. Also, some of those that are compatible exhibit some artifacts, meaning they may not look the same as on the system they were developed for.

Below is a list of Xbox games that are compatible with the Xbox 360. Additionally, the manner in which compatibility is achieved and the software errors associated with it are discussed in brief. This list is final as Microsoft ceased adding titles to the list in November 2007 for unknown reasons. It should also be noted that, as of April 2010, original Xbox games no longer can be played online via the Xbox Live service, as it was ended for the original Xbox console. However, online multiplayer still is possible through third-party Lan Tunneling programs that manipulate System Link, such as XLink Kai. Downloadable content for these titles is not available via Xbox Live. This includes the Xbox Originals downloaded on the Xbox 360 and any Xbox game running on the 360.

Fluctuations in the list of compatible games over time

The original list was composed of 279 games and was unveiled on November 11, 2005, on the Xbox website; however, some games subsequently have been removed due to bugs.

Six games were removed from the list: Codename: Kids Next Door – Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E., Curse: The Eye of Isis, 2002 FIFA World Cup, NBA Live 2003, Rugby 2005, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Seven games were removed temporarily, but were added back later: Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, Catwoman, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Legends of Wrestling, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Pariah, and Sid Meier's Pirates!.

He-Man: Defender of Grayskull remains on the list even though the game was never released; it was cancelled by the developer before completion. The Japanese version of the Xbox 360 console initially was compatible with only 12 games, while the European version had 156 games.

The last update for Xbox 360 backwards compatibility in North America was on November 27, 2007,^[1] raising the total number of Xbox games compatible with the Xbox 360 to 461.^[1] Approximately 51% of the original Xbox library is now compatible with Xbox 360 (as of the November 27, 2007, update). The latest European update was in November, 2007, with a total of 476 compatible games. The latest update for Japan was released on November 28, 2007, with 122 working games.

How compatibility is achieved

An Xbox 360 removable hard drive is what makes backward compatibility possible.

According to Microsoft, each game needs an emulation profile to run. These profiles can be downloaded via the Xbox Live service or from Xbox.com and burned on CD or DVD recordable media. They also were routinely distributed as part of the content on the Official Xbox Magazine monthly discs (which were discontinued in 2012). The profiles are downloaded as a single bundle, thus only needing to be applied once per update (if doing so offline), or are automatically downloaded the first time a compatible game is inserted.

The official Xbox 360 hard disk is required to play any of the games on this list. The hard disk is used to store the emulation software, and also to store saved games, downloaded content, and to serve as a data cache for titles which utilize disk caching. Since games for the original Xbox were designed with the expectation that a hard drive always would be available, most titles rely heavily on its presence.

An early version of the emulator for playing Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 offline initially was included with the Xbox 360 hard drive at launch. Xbox 360 hard drives manufactured later included updated emulation profiles which allow a greater range of titles to be played out-of-the-box without updating. Whenever new emulation profiles are released, drives manufactured after that date include the latest update.

The original Xbox controller is not compatible with Xbox 360 due to a different connector and marginally different button layout. Specifically, there are no white and black buttons on the 360 controller; they were replaced by the "bumpers" found above the left and right triggers. When playing an Xbox game on Xbox 360 (using an Xbox 360 controller), the white button is mapped to the left bumper and the black button to the right.

List of compatible titles

In the following chart, any Xbox game with a "Yes" will work in that region, and also in others which have "Yes" (although cross-region compatibility is not guaranteed). "Yes" in the 60 Hz column indicates that the PAL title supports 60 Hz output mode, and thus is compatible with the Xbox 360 VGA cable.

A game with "Yes" in the widescreen column has built-in support for widescreen, and will fill high-definition displays. If the widescreen column is "No", pillar boxing is used to preserve aspect ratio on high definition displays (most HDTVs have an option to change or stretch the image to fill the screen). Note that all compatible games will stretch to widescreen, potentially distorting the aspect ratio, if the Xbox 360 is configured for standard definition (480i / 576i) or enhanced definition (480p / 576p). Certain games without the widescreen function can be "cheated" into being widescreen by changing the screen resolution to 480p in the Xbox 360 display settings menu. Some games still will have small black over-scan lines on the sides of the screen.

Limited Edition Bonus Content Disc plays at a 16:3 ratio which seems to be incorrect except for the Forza Motorsport demo. Most of the content in the LE Bonus Disc, including the Forza Motorsport demo, appear blurry in HD displays at 1080p. Forza Motorsport has flickering textures and artifacting in the sky texture and runs at a poor frame rate. The Mong Zhen bonus content installs correctly and is needed as the content is not installed with the emulator update, despite official claims. The Conker:Live and Reloaded and MechaAssault 2 demos (the latter being in the LE Bonus Content Disc) exit to the Xbox 360 Dashboard after "game not supported" notice. Demos and Limited Edition bonus disc do not work for PAL60 and 50 Hz.

Some of the sound effects become permanent (like if some of the channels playing them do not get reset properly at the end of some stage) and only going back to 360 dashboard and restart the game fixes the issue. Luckily the sound fx are not that loud just annoying in the background and playing in a loop.

Pro Race Driver	Yes	No	No	Yes	No
Project Gotham Racing	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Poor performance, which the game compensates for (as a way of maintaining smoothness) by slowdown. Slowdown becomes progressively worse over the course of a race, typically ending several times slower than normal in just an average-length race. 4GB 360S with 250GB hard drive doesn't seem to suffer from poor frame rate, at least as single player.
Project Gotham Racing 2	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	There is usually a black screen at car (visible for an instant before going black) and gear box type selection. Radio does not work unless the source is set to CD Audio. Emulation can slowdown sometimes (not that frequently) when there are numerous cars around or when sliding around a corner and a lot of the background is changing. Very occasional freezes corrected by a reboot. Xbox Demos option crashes the game and returns the user to the dashboard. Content download is not compatible with PAL-60. Slowdown is almost constant in 3/4 player split-screen races, especially when drifting. Geometry Wars shows some graphic artifacts making some "vectors" to look blurry at any resolution or aspect ratio set in the dashboard. An Original Xbox does not show these artifacts even when the game is set to widescreen.

As long as she does not touch you, the game will not freeze and gameplay can continue. Game also freezes at the loading of the 12th level (Bar Fight). Game is unplayable after this lock-up; however, changing the Xbox's output to 480p should fix this .

Sega GT 2002	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Sega GT Online	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Some races suffer from slowdown, particularly 'Falcon Wing Circuit B'. The game constantly changes from 720p at 4:3 screen ratio (for menus) to 480p at 16:9 ratio (for races); when an Xbox 360 is set to 720p or higher, it keeps the scaling at 4:3 all the time, which results in a "crunched" image.

Brief slowdown during crowded scenes in: Aberdeen, Green Market Qr. Stand Qr. in Kowloon & Greenfield in Guilin. All real-time shadows are missing in outside areas during the day. Arcade games: Space Harrier, Outrun & After Burner II, have slight graphical glitches in the HUD also the backgrounds in Outrun suffer from this. Changing the game's 'Filter' to a different color does not work and causes a brief pause. Camera snap shots cause a brief pause but works. Sound: during the crate moving part-time job at Fortune's Pier & Thousand White Warehouse in Kowloon, the "left & right" command sounds skip and the music skip & loops after a few minutes. A sound glitch at: Fortune's Pier (at night), South Carmain Qr. Wise Men's Qr. Golden Qr. Golden Qr. Shopping Mall & Path Through a Wood in Guilin cause the music and sound effects to skip & loop after a few minutes, sometimes the sound cuts off completely, especially in the Golden Qr.

Textures can frequently load in wrong areas (such as door textures on the floor) or not load at all displaying only gray space. This includes the "picture" views. Later levels lose music and sound effects audio. Many "game over" events render the game unplayable, as game will not reboot once it has been shut off. One method to avoid corrupted saves is to only save to the first slot, and rewrite it on every save. Never save in more than one slot.

And during every credits sequence, as well as the theme song for the team you cleared the story with playing in the background, their FMV's on the top left side will also have their audio on. And like with the opening movie, everything will play in time so that it'll all stay in sync. But afterwards, there will be total silence until the player gets sent back to the story select screen since the credits scroll slower because of the game trying to keep up with everything.

Star Wars: Battlefront II	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Cheat codes may or may not work. Slight delays in between menu selections. Holding down any button in a hosted multiplayer match will result in moving slowly to the right, causing aiming and shooting to require moving to the left to stay centered.

Compatibility

When an original Xbox game has been emulator patched in accordance to Microsoft instructions it still might refuse to play on the Xbox 360. The following error message displayed on the Xbox 360 dashboard signifies this failure:

"This original Xbox game is not supported on your Xbox 360 console. An update to support this game may be available. For more info, go to www.xbox.com/games. X: 2689.0 B: 1884.0"

This message is identical to the one displayed when trying to play an unsupported or unpatched game for the first time. At this time no reference to the significance of the X and B variables can be found on the Microsoft Xbox website. This may be related to international region compatibility; a Microsoft disclaimer notes

"Currently the North American versions of these games are the only ones supported as backward compatible titles on Xbox 360."^[2]

It should be noted that Microsoft terms the compatibility of Xbox titles on the Xbox 360 consoles as "backward compatibility" or "reverse compatibility", although in fact, it is the console that is being made backward/reverse compatible, and the titles are being made forward compatible.

Contrary to popular belief, custom soundtracks are still supported while playing Xbox games, though it requires connecting the 360 hard drive to the PC.^[3]

PAL games that do not support PAL-60 can't be played using the VGA HD Cable.^[4]

Additionally, many listed Xbox titles still contain emulation errors or glitches. These are often minor, but they may include problems with graphics, sound, loading and saving, or gameplay as well. In some cases, Microsoft updated the emulation profiles for individual titles, and the incidence of these issues were reduced or eliminated.

Occasionally, switching from 720p/1080i/1080p mode to 480p will make a previously unplayable game workable (assuming it's on the BC list). Changing the display setting, usually from widescreen to normal should fix any game on the list.

Currently, however, the only way to transfer saved files from the original Xbox to the 360 is through a special transfer kit which requires the original system's memory card, or a 'modded' Xbox, but without modding an Xbox, and this also limits saves that can be moved to those that can be stored on a memory card.

However, some game saves on the original Xbox cannot be moved due to either file restrictions or size limitations.

Another limitation applies to downloadable content, as no content can be moved between systems.

After market hard drives can cause compatibility problems that are resolved when using genuine Microsoft hardware.
