Microsoft is now officially revealing what Xbox 360 titles will be backwards compatible with the Xbox One console beginning on 12 Nov. Xbox president Sarah Bond has confirmed that backwards compatibility with previous-generation Xbox games will remain a priority for the company's hardware. This news comes as a relief to fans who have been eagerly awaiting confirmation of which beloved classic games will be playable on the latest Xbox consoles.
Xbox continues to put a big focus on backwards compatibility, recognizing the importance of allowing players to revisit their favorite titles from previous generations. This commitment to preserving the legacy of Xbox gaming ensures that popular games like Blue Dragon, Bomberman Battlefest, and Borderlands 2 will still be accessible to players on newer consoles.
Microsoft's final non-backwards compatible Xbox 360 sale update is now live, and disappointingly, it appears that no new games have been discounted. However, the company's dedication to maintaining compatibility with a wide range of titles shows that they are prioritizing the gaming experience for their users above all else.
As the Xbox One turns 10 years old, we take a look back at how its launch troubles ultimately led Microsoft to embrace its back catalog. The Xbox 360 delivered some absolutely stellar gaming experiences, and after 20 years, Microsoft is set to close the Xbox 360 Store. This makes the backwards compatibility list even more crucial for players who want to continue enjoying their favorite games on modern hardware.
The list tells you every game that works on the current consoles, even newly released ones, but the only Forza games that it says will work are: Borderlands, Bound by Flame, Braid, Brain Challenge, and Brave: The Video Game. These titles represent just a fraction of the extensive library of games that will be available for players to enjoy on their Xbox One consoles.
Microsoft has now launched its second sale on non-backwards compatible Xbox 360 games ahead of the Xbox 360 store closure in July. This sale gives players the opportunity to stock up on their favorite titles before they are no longer available for purchase. The backwards compatibility list serves as a roadmap for players looking to ensure that their favorite games will still be playable on newer hardware.
