Microsoft adds five more titles to Xbox One Backward Compatibility

4.5

Nearly each week, the Xbox One library of Xbox 360 (and beyond) classics available to play has been expanding through backwards compatibility, with five more titles having been added to the console’s stable of classics today.

Xbox’s Larry Hryb (aka “Major Nelson”) has announced five more titles that are now available to play through Xbox One’s backwards compatibility, with (nearly) all of the titles bearing a vintage spin with the addition of Dig Dug, Phantasy Star II, Runner 2, Samurai Showdown II, and Sonic & Knuckles now available.

Each of the five titles can now be downloaded and added to users’ libraries on Xbox One through backwards compatibility if they previously owned any of the titles digitally on Xbox 360, or can be purchased through the Xbox Games Store.

At least they're continuing to add games even if they aren't the best.

It's good to see that they're actually expanding the list of backward compatible games.

That's cool Xbox are adding more games onto the backwards compatibility game list. Runner 2 is a good game to play, the rest of the games are weak, I do think most of the game they do add for the backwards compatibility games list are for the younger generation to play on which is a good sign.
