Dragon Age 2 was released on Xbox 360 in November 2009, and it is backwards compatible with Xbox One. This means that players can import their save files from the game onto their Xbox One and continue playing the game as if they had never left the world of Thedas. This compatibility was not possible with Dragon Age: Origins, which was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Origins was a much more recent game, and its engine did not support importing save files from older games. This meant that players who wanted to continue playing their old saves had to start a new game from scratch. This feature is great for people who want to replay old games or for people who have never played a Dragon Age game before but are interested in trying it out. It is also great for people who have bought an Xbox One just for Dragon Age 2 and do not want to have to buy Origins again in order to play the other games in the series. ..
