Players are reporting a number of performance problems when playing Halo: Reach on Xbox One.
Halo: Reach is now available through the Xbox One’s backward compatibility feature, but it seems to be experiencing a few problems.
The emulated version is currently subject to a number of framerate issues, failing to run above 20FPS in certain areas.
“It’s unplayable! I’m getting 10-20 FPS whereas my 360 runs it at a smooth 25-30 FPS” said a post in the Halo Waypoint forums.
Many players on Reddit are also reporting problems relating to framerate and general performance.

Microsoft has issued a statement to Kotaku regarding the game, and are aware of Reach’s performance problems:
“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,” the statement reads.
