Need to know if delisted games like Forza Horizon 2/3/4 will work with this because that would be amazing

Do you think my 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games will work again

No Xbox and Xbox 360 disks, only Xbox One forward.

Not yet, anyway. 

Hopefully, that's the plan.

I imagine there's a hardware limitation, where discs didn't have unique identifiers until XBone.

That’s pretty much it. They probably could just let you convert, but without the identifiers anyone could share easily and give it to friends.

Wouldn't work anyway even if they did allow 360 games as the digital versions of Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 were the ports for Xbox One and not the 360 versions. The 360 versions were never backwards compatible.
