Xbox 360 game-streaming is coming to Windows 10

As if backwards compatibility on the Xbox One wasn’t enough, Microsoft’s also going to let you stream and play those older games on Windows 10 PCs. In a private demo of the recently announced Xbox One updates, the company confirmed to Engadget that users will have access to this functionality when the new features roll out during the holiday season. (If you’re a member of the Preview Program, though, you should have access to it already.) Microsoft also revealed that Xbox 360 titles relying on the original Kinect, or any other hardware accessories, won’t work with the Xbox One. A spokesperson said the Xbox team wanted to have backwards compatibility on Xbox One from launch day, but it turned out to be a difficult task because of the different system architecture. For your sake, at least it’s here now.
