Can I play Halo 4 On Xbox One as a Disc?

I gave my Halo 4 disc to a friend who has a Xbox 360. I was going to pick later to play it on my Xbox One but, I don't know if I would be even able to play it or not on my Xbox.


Solution 1:

Yes, inserting the disk into the system will play the game like it were on the 360. It may have to download/install updates, but it is 100% backwards compatible.

Solution 2:

According to Microsoft,

Select digital and disc-based Xbox 360 and original Xbox games can be played on Xbox One. These backward-compatible games use an emulator for the older Xbox operating systems, providing most features of those systems, such as broadcasting and screenshot and game-clip captures.

This means most games should be able to be played on it. Here is a list of the supported games.
