The Xbox One isn't normally capable of playing Xbox 360 games. Instead, Microsoft created an emulator that simulates the Xbox 360's hardware and software. Xbox 360 games run inside this emulator. It's similar to how the 'virtual console' games work on Nintendo's Wii U and Wii, or how you'd run old console games in emulators on a PC.
- The June update strips the paywall from many apps on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Gamers previously had to pay for an Xbox Live Gold subscription to access Twitch, Netflix, HBO Go and other apps on top.
- XBOX devices currently have over 20 TV Everywhere apps to stream live TV and On Demand content. Note: The XBOX One has far more apps than XBOX 360. Our help center section about our 'Features' has more information about TV Everywhere apps and how to login to them using your school credentials.
If you have two-step verification turned on and an app isn't prompting you to enter a security code when you sign in, you may be able to sign in with an app password instead. An app password is a long, randomly generated password that you provide only once instead of your regular password when signing in to an app or device that doesn't support two-step verification.
You only need to create an app password if you have two-step verification turned on and are using an app that doesn't support it.
Note: If you forgot your password, are having trouble resetting your password, can't find your security code, or have other problems signing into your account, see When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account.
