The short answer is no. It is not compatible with Xbox 360, but there is something to be aware of. Xbox Game Pass Core will only be available for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. This means that Xbox 360 users will not be able to enjoy the benefits of this service, such as the game catalog or exclusive member offers. , they will keep access to the online game in case of subscription. Xbox 360 users who wish to continue playing online will need to purchase an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription to continue their online activities.
That in turn does not mean that Xbox 360 users are left without options to enjoy of Xbox games. Thanks to backwards compatibility, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles can play many of the classic Xbox 360 games, although the games available on Xbox Game Pass Core are titles that arrived on Xbox One, such as Fallout 4 or Gears 5. Transitioning to Xbox Series X|S is recommended as users of these consoles can access other services such as Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which offers over 100 console, PC and mobile games, as well as access to EA Play and xCloud.
