Hey @jronald, reposting. I know the team is working on this, but new Series consoles still can’t connect to Xbox Live for 360 games or download a 360 profile, making backwards compatible titles unplayable.
This happens on both Ethernet and WiFi, and I’ve already tried troubleshooting. I’ve submitted a Report a Problem and contacted support multiple times. They said it’s a legacy auth issue and even suggested using a 360 instead, saying Series X doesn’t really support it, which seems off.
A lot of people online, especially on Reddit, are reporting the same issue and it seems like this is affecting new consoles specifically.
I just bought this console, and it’s my first Xbox since owning an Xbox One and 360 back in the day. I came back mainly because of the push around preserving backwards compatibility, so this has been pretty disappointing. I have until May 9 to return it.
Any update on a fix timeline? I can DM details and help test if needed.
@SodomFFSFA26@XboxSupport Apparently it’s been an issue that happens often. I also recently bought a new series S and returned it for the same issue. Went and got a Xbox one and works fine.
@yrulaughing418 @Hi__Im__Swat @WinC_Gaming It’s people who have bought a new Xbox within the last month who can’t sign into 360 profiles whatsoever ever
Xbox Back Compat Fans!
We're investigating a rare issue affecting a small number of players when launching Xbox 360 BC titles on Xbox Series X|S.
If you receive a "Can't Connect to Xbox Live" error when trying to play, please DM me with details so we can take a closer look.
@Rastogi_Vineet@Xbox_is_back@Xbox How about you guys fix series s and x not being able to download 360 profiles and don’t tell me to switch net code and my DNS I did that fix your servers
@Its_Rutal@XboxSupport Bro I’m seeing shit from 2 years ago about this same exact issue I’m about to just return this and get another Xbox one that I know won’t have any problems playing 360 games
@magikittykitty@XboxSupport Same just got a brand new Xbox after my Xbox one finally gave up. Crazy how a refurbished console from gamestop worked flawlessly for years, but a brand new one from Microsoft is full of issues that I’ve had to spend hours trying to fix!!
@ScottVentura13@XboxSupport Think it’s something with new out the box consoles over the last month I got mine today series S and it’s doing the same exact thing. Wish they would give a time frame estimate bc It to mainly play old 360 games
@XboxSupport Any update on this I only have a 1 week left on my return policy. Legit just went out and bought a Xbox X to play old 360 games just to find out this is an issue now.
Thank you Kendrick Lamar! For years I have been paralyzed stuck in a wheel chair. But when u started performing at the halftime show I gained the strength to get up and turn that trash ass music off! Thank you Mr. Lamar for all you do for the disabled community!
