==Backwards compatibility==
The Xbox One was not backwards compatible with either the original [[Xbox]] or the [[Xbox 360]] console at launch. However, during its E3 press conference on June 15, 2015, Microsoft announced plans to introduce Xbox 360 backward compatibility using the software method on the Xbox One. Supported Xbox 360 games are supposed to run within a software emulator provided by the updated system software, implementing both the hardware and software of the Xbox 360. Xbox One recording and broadcasting features are supported along with Xbox 360 multiplayer, achievements and cloud save access.<ref name="eurogamer-360dlc">{{Cite web|title=Xbox One back compatibility supports Xbox 360 DLC|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-23-xbox-one-back-compatibility-supports-xbox-360-dlc|website=Eurogamer|accessdate=June 23, 2015}}</ref><ref name="verge-bwcompatibility">{{cite web|first=Tom|last=Warren|title=Microsoft built an Xbox 360 emulator to make games run on the Xbox One|url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/15/8785955/microsoft-xbox-one-xbox-360-emulator-software|website=[[The Verge]]|publisher=[[Vox Media]]|accessdate=15 June 2015|date=15 June 2015}}</ref>
