You can get your Xbox 360 games out of storage if you traded your old console in for an Xbox One.
Microsoft on Nov. 12 will release a new update that will make Xbox 360 games compatible with the Xbox One.
Microsoft made the release date announcement during Monday’s Halo 5 Live streaming event on YouTube that celebrated the release of Halo 5: Guardians. Xbox Live’s Larry Hryb, a.k.a. Major Nelson also shared the announcement Monday night on Twitter.

Borderlands, Gears of War, and Mass Effect were the highest-profile games on the test list. You can get a look at the other upcoming features of the New Xbox One Experience in a promotional video Microsoft released in June.
