From personal experience, I slapped in my dusty old Xbox 360 'Red Dead Redemption' disc into the Series X, and it played like a charm. No extra steps!

Hot take: Just stick to new games. Old ones might work, but they don't look or feel as good.

The Xbox Series X can run games from all previous Xbox consoles! Just pop in the old disc or download from your library. Magic, right?
