When Microsoft launched the $500 Xbox Series X four years ago, it promised that the device would be able to play games from as long ago as the first Xbox launch in 2001. On Monday, the company expanded on that promise by creating a new team within its Xbox division devoted to backward compatibility, ensuring old games can still play on newer devices -- like the next Xbox.

We have formed a new team dedicated to game preservation, important to all of us at Xbox and the industry itself," Sarah Bond, Xbox's newly minted president, said in an email to staff that was made public Monday by Windows Central. "We are building on our strong history of delivering backwards compatibility to our players, and we remain committed to bringing forward the amazing library of Xbox games for future generations of players to enjoy."
