It was time for Microsoft to clarify the situation with a clear message: in recent days, communication around backward compatibility of the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X has been particularly inaudible. The Xbox brand Twitter account formalizes and clarifies the situation once and for all, with an update of the page dedicated to backward compatibility.
Xbox Series X / S: Backward compatibility
With all the info leaked at the moment, we know that the Xbox Series S will emulate the Xbox One S and the Xbox Series X will emulate the Xbox One X. The Series X model will benefit from the famous label optimized for Series X, however Series S games will also have the right to many improvements thanks to the generation leap, as detailed below.
Well, even after all that, the view isn't quite clear yet. However, the American manufacturer plans to publish new information on the subject of backward compatibility very soon.
