Update: Microsoft has officially announced the first 104 games that will support Xbox One backward compatibility on November 12.
Back in June at E3, Microsoft announced backward compatibility for its latest console, Xbox One. Since, then the Redmond based giant has been constantly working with the insiders to bring the Xbox 360 games to Xbox One. And the list has grown since then. Xbox One also outsold PS4 during E3 week due to this believed Microsoft. This is a great feature for those who came into gaming later and don’t want to miss the older gen titles.
The worldwide release date is set for November 12. The update New Xbox One Experience is based on the Windows 10 “Threshold 2”. There are dashboard improvements and it feels more like Windows 10. It brings better and improved social features via in-game overlay rather than buried in apps. Cortana was also meant to be a part of this update but later postponed. It will be released sometime in 2016.
Below is the full list (updated) of games that are confirmed for Xbox One backward compatibility at launch. Microsoft is currently working to add hundreds of games to the list including titles like BioShock and Civilization Revolution.
