Making Xbox Games Run on The Xbox One is "Very Challenging"

"Nothing's impossible," however Microsoft is focusing on adding more backwards compatible Xbox 360 games.

Microsoft's Xbox engineering boss Mike Ybarra has said that making original Xbox games playable on Xbox One through backwards compatibility is challenging but not impossible.

"Nothing's impossible," Ybarra said, adding that Microsoft's current focus is adding more Xbox 360 games to the backwards compatibility program.

The Xbox One backwards compatibility works by emulating the Xbox 360 operating system. Yabarra explains that getting an original Xbox emulator up and running would be a tall task.

"We're not looking at original Xbox games on Xbox One yet," he said. "Right now the focus is making more Xbox 360 games work. [It would be] certainly very challenging. Getting Xbox 360 games to work was incredibly challenging and really a multi-year engineering investment. Going all the way back to the original certainly would challenge the team."

However there is hope as Yabarra adds that the Xbox backwards compatibility engineering team enjoys taking on new challenges. "I'm sure they would love that one as an opportunity to go look at," he said.
