@SomberShadowI Hey there, good question! While the console allows it, DLC of specific titles is up to the publisher 🙂 ^GC

Microsoft confirmed via Twitter that the DLC will be transferred over, so long as the developers opt in for that feature as well. Cloud saves, and achievements will also be transferring over. If the 360 game is multiplayer and the servers are still up, it will still be accessible.
Although the backwards compatibility would of been nice to have at launch, unless you sold off your either 360 collection you’re still in luck. And even then, most games are under $20 by now at your local game store.
