Xbox One hacks break the console
 

A hack for the Xbox One, which claims to make Xbox 360 games playable on the new system, is a prank which breaks the console.

The hack, being promoted online, is supposed to activate some code under the bonnet of the new console which allows you to play old console games. It came with a rumour that Vole did not want users to have this code.

After the hack was released Microsoft has confirmed that there is no hidden backwards compatibility on the Xbox One console, all the hack was doing was destroying the gizmo.

The hack for the Xbox One claims to use the button input sequence allows users to access the developer menu that every Xbox One machine has hidden away. However, what the six-step process actually does is lock your £430 buy into an endless reboot cycle, effectively destroying it.

Xbox One spokesman Larry Hyrb tweeted that there was no way to make your Xbox One backwards compatible and performing steps to attempt this could make your console inoperable
