if you had the game bought on digital format on the Xbox 360 you just have to download it on your Xbox One/Series X because you have the license of the game on your Xbox Live account, I put here a video that explains the situation of what happens but with original Xbox games, that is the same with Xbox 360 games, and you don´t have to worry about not compatibility problems because GTA IV has backwards compatibility since 2017, as other R* games too, the list they provided on their Newswire for Xbox Series X applies the same for Xbox One. I don´t have a Xbox One but AFAIK they added backwards compatibility, the same applies in the Xbox Series X, but not by hardware itself, it´s emulated, I mean, you put a Xbox 360 disk inside the Xbox One (or Series X) and if it´s compatible with the list of backward games Microsoft provided, the console start downloading the game on your console hard drive/SSD, it´s like "the disk gives you a key to download the game", you don´t run the game on the physical format, you get a free key to download the digital version for the console. I heard the Xbox 360 disc has recently become backwards compatible so would it be best to buy that for it? Or can you download it? And are there advantages/disadvantages with either option? Any advice appreciated. I've only played it on Xbox 360 so I'm clueless about it.

My nephew wants to play GTA IV on Xbox One.
