Microsoft's strategy advocates encompassing the entire platform within the same ecosystem, so efforts are being made to unify it.
Backward compatibility has given a lot to talk about in recent days, especially since Mark Cerny, architect of the PlayStation 5, recognized that PS4 games would be backwardly compatible in stages. In the case of Xbox Series X, everything hinted that the Xbox One catalog would work in its entirety on the new machine since launch, something that has finally been officially confirmed. It has been revealed by the Xbox account itself on Twitter.
"When you say that all games are backward compatible with Xbox Series X: does this mean that all games that have been made for Xbox are or only those that are currently backward compatible?" Asked a follower on the social network. Redmond's response has been as follows: “All games that are currently backwards compatible, yes. In addition to all the Xbox One video games ”.
All games that are currently Backwards Compatible, yes. Plus all Xbox One games.

Xbox and Xbox 360, why aren't they all there?
As it could not be otherwise, not all the titles of the first Xbox and Xbox 360 will work on the machine, since the Microsoft teams have to work one by one with all these products. However, the company has put all the meat in the grill and offers visual improvements and effects that were not available in the original games, such as the option to configure them with HDR.
The new generation will materialize at the end of the year, but there are still many unknowns to be revealed. For starters, PlayStation 5 hasn't shown what it will look like yet. What has been made public are the technical characteristics of both platforms. In addition to the raw figures, SSD hard drives allow us to improve loading times and enable functions that until now we have not seen in video games. For example, Xbox Series X will provide the ability to jump from one game to another at high speed, and even unplug the console and enjoy the game again from the moment you left it after plugging in the system again.
