Is WWE 13 backwards compatible with the Xbox 360? We take a look at the game and its compatibility with older consoles.
What is WWE 13?
WWE 13 is a professional wrestling video game developed by Yuke’s and published by THQ for PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360. It is the second game in the WWE series and the 14th overall in the combined series. It was released on October 30, 2012 in North America and November 2, 2012 in Europe. WWE 13 is the first WWE game to be published under THQ’s bankruptcy and TWC4 was cancelled as a result.

What is Backwards Compatibility?
The Xbox One backwards compatibility feature allows select Xbox 360 games to be played on Microsoft’s current-generation console. More than 400 Xbox 360 games are compatible with the Xbox One, including “Gears of War 3,” “Assassin’s Creed II” and “Halo: Reach.” Several first-party Xbox titles like “Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition” and “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition” have also been remastered for the Xbox One and are playable on both consoles. To play backwards compatible games on your Xbox One, simply insert the game disc or download the game from your Xbox 360 library to your console. You can also purchase compatible games from the Microsoft Store online.

As of right now, WWE 13 is not backwards compatible with any system.
What are the Benefits of Backwards Compatibility?
Playing Xbox One games on your Xbox Series X or S is easy: just pop in the disc, download any updates and patches (which happen automatically in the background), and you’re good to go. That’s thanks to backwards compatibility, which lets you play select Xbox 360 and original Xbox games on your current-gen console. In some cases – particularly with older titles – you might even notice a performance boost thanks to the more powerful hardware inside your Series X or S.
But backwards compatibility isn’t just about playing last-gen games: it’s also about preserving your game library and investment, ensuring that the games you’ve bought over the years don’t become unplayable when you upgrade to a new console. With Microsoft now fully committed to this vision – it has pledged to make every Xbox One game playable on Series X and S at launch – backwards compatibility has never been more important.
Are There any Drawbacks to Backwards Compatibility?
While there are many benefits to backwards compatibility, there are also some potential drawbacks. One of the biggest potential problems is that older games may not work properly on newer hardware. For example, if you try to play a PlayStation 2 game on a PlayStation 3, you may experience graphical glitches or other problems. Additionally, some backwards compatible games may not take advantage of the newer hardware in the console, meaning that they may not look as good as they could on the original console. Finally, backwards compatibility can also be a drain on resources, so it’s possible that your system may run more slowly when playing backwards compatible games.
