The Xbox One is Microsoft’s latest console which means that it is the company’s most powerful gaming device to date. This means that if it can handle new games without any issues, by right it should be able to handle older titles like Halo: Reach without having to bat an eyelid, right? Unfortunately that isn’t quite true.
It seems that many gamers have been complaining about encountering issues when playing Halo: Reach on the Xbox One. Namely the issues seem to have to deal with frame rate where frame rates drop to as low as 10-20fps. Some gamers claim that even if their older console like the Xbox 360 can handle the game better at 25-30fps.
Microsoft has since issued a statement to the folks at Kotaku which reads, “We’re aware some users are experiencing issues playing Halo: Reach via Xbox One backward compatibility. The Xbox engineering team is currently looking into the issues and are working to address them.” Chances are there is probably a bug that is causing the frame rate issues, as opposed to the Xbox One not being able to handle it.
Halo: Reach is one of several Xbox 360 games that Microsoft has made backwards compatible with the Xbox One. So far it seems to be the only game that is facing issue as other titles appear to run just fine, so if you are playing the game, you can rest assured that a fix should be coming soon.
