But hopefully that’s why we’re waiting for November before it officially launches. The new dashboard includes features that focus on speed and performance, and a design that’s a lot easier to use with a controller instead of Kinect. This is a major system overhaul, based upon Windows 10, and will introduce the highly anticipated Xbox 360 games backwards compatibility feature.

Early footage of the feature in action shows it answering complex, context-related questions. Users can access these without the need to pause or leave the game. “If you start to look at that list of things that are coming, we have Quantum Break in April, Killer Instinct Season 3, Recore, Scalebound, Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars 2 and Gears of War 4 and probably a few [games] we haven’t announced”, Greenberg told Kinda amusing Games.

Now the Xbox One Experience is going through rigorous testing in the Xbox One Preview Program, a beta program for a small portion of Xbox One users.
Worse, the OS update has been available for several months to beta testers, but has been plagued with reports of bugs and other issues.
“Paradise City” is the new face presented in the line of “Burnout” games which has its own “stand-alone flavor”, per a review from Game Spot. Now available to members of the Xbox One Preview program, the feature lets you play your old Xbox 360 titles on the Xbox One for free. This new update will do more than just provide backwards compatibility for many games. The initial availability of the backwards compatibility will supposedly be limited, but Microsoft will then make more games available quickly thereafter. This means that if you have an Xbox One, you will be getting four playable games for free every month.
