Can you play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One?

Yes, an Xbox One user can play games that are available on Xbox One itself, along with those launched on the Xbox 360, and even the original Xbox. This is because the Xbox One comes with a feature called backward compatibility.

For those unaware, backward compatibility allows users to play most of the video games that were originally designed for the older consoles. So if you wish to replay an old Call of Duty Game or Grand Theft Auto IV, but you no longer have your 360 console, the Xbox One will actually handle it.
