Xbox One just might overtake the competition with the roll-out of its backwards compatibility feature.
In fact, there is a distinct possibility that the Xbox One will "rule them all" due to the ability of the Redmond-based tech company to "radically tweak the console," according to Techradar.
The release of the Xbox One Experience, which includes its highly-anticipated backwards compatibility update, is viewed by many as the "next big step" for creators of the new-generation gaming device.
With the backwards compatibility feature, gamers can now have access to over 100 Xbox 360 games, which can be downloaded and then played without having to go online.
But what is most impressive about the Xbox One backwards compatibility feature is that it was added after the console was released, which was not the case with the earlier Microsoft and Sony consoles.
Another great thing about backwards compatibility is that publishers won't need to upgrade their earlier titles, as the Xbox will upgrade itself to work with the older games.
However, being able to play Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One via backwards compatibility is only the tip of the iceberg.
The latest Microsoft gaming console underwent a major overhaul, with the UI being replaced with an entirely new one, which will allow users to access friends, messages and invites on the system between five to 10 times faster.
Other additional features of the Xbox One include a revamped store and media hub, as well as the ability to stream games from Xbox One to a Windows 10 PC.
Meanwhile, Martin Starr has declared that he is the brains behind the backwards compatibility feature of Xbox One, reported WinBeta.
The "Silicon Valley" actor channels his popular character Bertram Gilfoyle not only to inform viewers that backwards compatibility is his creation, but also explains that gamers can now play any Xbox One game on a Windows 10 PC via Wi-Fi.
Microsoft may have made the right choice in tapping Gilfoyle's Starr to introduce the latest feature of its new gaming console to a wider audience.
The 33-year-old actor has starred in the popular TV show "Freaks and Geeks," including films "Super Bad" and "Knocked Up."
Hiring talents like Gilfoyle might be a more effective strategy for Microsoft to reach out to more gamers, and convince them that owning an Xbox One with backwards compatibility might be a better option if they already have a Windows PC.
Backwards compatibility cross-platform play via Wi-Fi are among the new features that would be available to Xbox One users.
And now that Starr a.k.a. Gilfoyle has taken credit for backwards compatibility feature of Xbox One, many are wondering what will be the next creation the "Innovation Guy's" will own up to.
