Topic: The everything Xbox thread

Curious has Microsoft ever released and data on BC engagement, how many use it, how long etc?

@redd214 Most recent data I've been able to find.

https://screenrant.com/xbox-one-backwards-compatibility-playt...

And back in 2017, Microsoft was saying at least 50% of Xbox owners have made use of the system's backwards compatibility.

@Ralizah thanks for that! Would love to see more in depth but that's a good bit of info.

@Dezzy Yes, you are right but I have played the sequel to death and the original only on Wii with low resolution. Of course, Project Zero is my priority.

@Grumblevolcano I am happy to have those tracks in Team Sonic Racing which I think it's better than Mario Kart 8 and almost as good as Transformed. However, it's weird that some of the tracks are not included in any cup, I hate that. I mean Eggman's tracks. They aren't in any cup, sadly. Bad.

@DarthNocturnal The Wii version is horrendous ...like the Switch version of Crash Team Racing. A HD port would be nice. It would also be nice to see Transformed X-enhanced (Xbox One X/Series X).

For me backwards compatibility was the reason to get an Xbox One, in between. Now I have more, of course. Best version of third-party games (Xbox One X), best controller, free remasters and best digital rights (on console).

@BlueOcean CTR currently has the same problem, even with all these GP updates there's still 1 track which isn't in any cup (Turbo Track). It always seems to be story mode exclusive unlocks that get left behind when it comes to GPs. But yeah, I wish Cup 5 of Team Sonic Racing was Clockwork Pyramid followed by Eggman's tracks rather than reusing tracks present in other cups.

@ThanosReXXX Hmm fair enough. I still think even with this feature that MS is easily the weakest of the 3 choices - but my opinion of them is a lot better knowing about this feature.

@Heavyarms55 How things stand currently, I tend to agree, but Phil Spencer has made great strides in order to remedy this situation, and far as I can tell, he's showing no signs of slowing down...

@ThanosReXXX Well I'm open to possibilities. During the PS360 days, 360 was my most played console.

Ori is reviewing quite well, hope you guys enjoy it tomorrow!

Also seems like a big next gen info dump coming next week! Looking forward to watching it!

@Grumblevolcano Yep, on top of that Team Sonic Racing recycles tracks in the last cup. Doesn't make any sense.

An Xbox digital event is happening after the confirmation that E3 is cancelled this year.

@Grumblevolcano Same for Ubisoft, so it's safe to assume most will do a digital show instead.

hey everyone the PureXBOX site is back, that's the XBOX site that's part of the Nlife network same as Nintendo Life and Push Square

https://www.purexbox.com/

anyway spread the word that it;s back people, it's better to have a site dedicated to XBOX in the Nlife network than not

@FullbringIchigo
That's awesome news. I'll be sharing on Twitter. Hopefully that website can garner some more traffic this time around. I always enjoyed visiting there.

@Gamer83 lets hope so

@FullbringIchigo Weird how they didn't tell us!

@Octane it did just kind of drop didn't it and yeah i would have thought they would have done a article on here and Push Square but they didn't

it's why i posted in here as i figured all the people interested in XBOX on this site would be here

@FullbringIchigo Thanks for the update. Great news. They certainly could have done with an official notification, though. Now they've just sneakily added it to the "friends" mentioned at the bottom of the page.

@NEStalgia I figured I'd tag you, just in case this page gets buried in several new ones and you weren't aware of this news.
