As if backward compatibility (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/15/xbox-one-backwards-compatibility/) for Xbox One wasn't enough, Microsoft's also going to let you stream those older games to Windows 10 PCs (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/15/stream-xbox-one-games-to-windows-10/). In a private demo of the Xbox One's revamped interface (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/15/new-xbox-one-user-experience/), the company confirmed to Engadget that users will have access to its streaming functionality (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/30/windows-10-xbox-one-streaming/) when the new features roll out this holiday season. (If you're a member of the Preview Program (http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/system/xbox-update-preview-faq), though, you should already be able to play 360 games on a Win 10 machine.) Microsoft also revealed that Xbox 360 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/new-xbox-360-slim-250gb-review/) titles relying on the original Kinect, or any other hardware accessories, won't work with Xbox One (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/). A company spokesperson said the team wanted to have backward compatibility from launch day, but it turned out to be a difficult task because of the different architecture between the two systems. For your sake, at least it's here now.
