Last month, Microsoft added 19 games from the original Xbox to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility list. Those additions were a major milestone, as there are now over 500 Xbox and Xbox 360 games that are playable on the Xbox One family of consoles via the Backward Compatibility program.

Today, the company is back to adding Xbox 360 games to the list, and today's addition is Saints Row 2.

Saints Row 2 ($9.99)

Help the 3rd Streets take back their city in this explosive sequal to the 2006 hit. Saints Row 2 features unparalleled character creation and customization; a massive open world to explore by land, air or sea; and online co-op play that enables you and a friend play through the entire story of Saints Row 2.

It's also a brand new month, which means that it's time for new Games with Gold. If you're not familiar with it, Games with Gold offers four free games per month (two Xbox One, and two Xbox 360) to Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

From last month's offers, you can still get Assassin's Creed Syndicate (Xbox One) until May 15. As part of this month's Games with Gold, you've got until the 15th to claim Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage (Xbox 360) and until the end of the month to grab Super Mega Baseball 2 (Xbox One).
