Today’s the day that Microsoft promised it would provide a list of the first 100+ games that would be backward compatible with the Xbox One. Keep in mind that while the list has been released, you won’t be able to play these until the New Xbox One Experience launches for the Xbox One, unless you’re in the preview program.
And if you don’t find your favorite title in the list, fret not as Microsoft has stated that more games are on the way and that this is just the beginning.
Today Mike Ybarra, Director of Program Management for Xbox, announced the first 104 titles coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility when the feature launches as part of the New Xbox One Experience on November 12th.
Our launch of 104 titles on November 12th is just the beginning. You can expect new Xbox One Backward Compatible games to be announced on a regular basis, starting in December. More titles are on the way, including fan favorites like Halo Reach, Halo Wars, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite and Skate 3. Stay tuned because this just the beginning of a long list of Xbox 360 games that will run on Xbox One.
Sadly there ‘s no sign of Street Fighter IV, Project Gotham Racing or Halo ODST or Halo Reach (but it’s coming) anywhere, but I suspect it will be in the lineup sooner or later. Either way, looks like our Xbox 360’s are getting closer and closer to be replaced and I’m ok with that.
