They do still work in later games, but their functionality often changes or diminishes over time compared to what they did in their debut games. It particularly applies to Magic Item and Expansion / Adventure Pack figures from earlier games. There are only a few caveats to this rule of thumb.Figures that were released for the Swap Force game will work in Swap Force and later games, but not necessarily in Spyro's Adventure or Giants, which both came before Swap Force.For example, all figures that were released for the Spyro's Adventure game will work in every game in the franchise, because that was the first game to be released.Or to put it another way, newer games in the franchise are backwards compatible with figures from previous games. Understand that all figures from older games work in newer games. Neither are the console portals compatible with the handheld games. Handheld versions of the Skylanders games have their own specific wireless portals of power that are smaller in size, and are not compatible with the console versions of the games.If your portal of power says it is for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Nintendo Wii, or Nintendo Wii U, or if it just says 'Portal of Power' and it doesn't show a specific console name anywhere on the bottom stickers, then that means your portal will work interchangeably across any of these four consoles.If you want to play on Xbox 360 or Xbox One consoles, make sure you have a portal of power specifically made to work for your console. Xbox One portals of power are likewise only compatible with Xbox One consoles. The Xbox 360 portals of power can only be used on an Xbox 360 console. Most portals are interchangeable between consoles, except for Microsoft's Xbox consoles.The 'Traptanium Portal' from Skylanders Trap Team, or the 'Wireless Portal of Power for Playstation 3' from Spyro's Adventure, are some examples of different names you might see. Portals may go by slightly different names, and some will specifically list a console that the portal was designed for.Some portals only work on specific consoles. Turn your Portal of Power over, and look at the stickers on the bottom to see which console it is for.
