The List Of Xbox One Backward Compatibility Games Is Now Available

Major Nelson:
Ever since we announced Backward Compatibility was coming to Xbox One the number one question I get asked is, “What games are going to be available?” That question has finally been answered.

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 12 Nov.

[Geobros]

Finally the list leaked few games ago was really fake. There are many similarities but many differences too.

[Abash]

I set my hopes too high, a lot of the games from the leaked list that I wanted are not there

[USMC_POLICE]

Agreed I wanted most wanted 2005 :( and black ops 1

[AngelicIceDiamond]

They need to put Ninja Blade and Soul Calibur 5 on their.

This how I see it The PS4 is the most powerful console, the Wii U the most innovative and the X1 the flexible console.

[CitizenFour]

Yeah the list is a little disappointing to be honest..
but with that being said, all the Games with Gold will be playable on the One.. so maybe they will start releasing old AAA games for Games with Gold?
Either way, I hope they bring more games to the table over time, as this list doesn't overly excite me.

[donthate]

I'm surprised CoD:Black Ops is coming!

Most of the Halo games are missing too, so I'm expecting it to come later. Glad Halo Wars and entire Bioshock trilogy (if you may) is coming though.

Hoping for Dead Space trilogy, ME2 & 3, Splinter Cell, Ninja Gaiden 2 and I can't think of anything else right now, but I'm sure there are more.

[Monster_Tard]

@Donthate "I'm surprised CoD:Black Ops is coming!"

Me too, I'm also surprised it's not BO2 instead seeing as more people were asking for it.

[freshslicepizza]

impressed to see call of duty, i would have thought they would be against it

[APexGamer45]

Mostly arcade and MS games. It seems like publishers are not going for it.

[muzikjunkie80]

donthate

why would halo need to be on the list when halo 1-4 is on the MCC?

[LCEvans]

yeah I hope lost odyssey makes it eventually!

[Crimzon]

Yeah, I was excited for a good list because backwards compatibility has me interested in buying an Xbox this holiday season if I can find a good deal, but the list of games is really underwhelming.

Gears of War 3 is great obviously, but I was really hoping to see games like Burnout Revenge, SSX, Red Dead Redemption, Bayonetta, Modern Warfare 3 etc. on this list. Instead, it's a lot of arcade games and underwhelming titles which just has me confused as to how they could consider this a good lineup to launch with. I mean it's great that they're trying obviously and it was enough to get me interested, but the offerings are disappointing to say the least.

Everyone has different tastes of course but if Microsoft had provided a better list they'd have sold an Xbox to me.

[Unspoken]

Is this list of backwards compatibility not going to expand?

[FACTUAL evidence]

Aaaand I'm mad there's no alan wake or lost odyssee. Only more to come i guess.

[Shazz]

yeah im surprised no alan wake in there

[Christopher]

They might be holding that back to make the whole "Get Quantum Break and Alan Wake digital" deal for when the game releases. Putting it out now would kinda lessen the impact that has overall.

[Farmassy]

I can't believe that there is no SHadowrun. They had it in their original graphic as a bc game and now its not on the list. I really want to play it on my xbox one

[mikeboccher]

Lost Odyssey and multiuple disc games can't be added

[bleedsoe9mm]

seems like there might be an announcement for alan wake 2 coming soon so it would probably make sense to give it away with the new game

[JasonKCK]

I think Christopher is right. I think some BC titles will be used in promotional marketing. Get so and so game on X1 and get a free game kind of thing.

[Christopher]

***Lost Odyssey and multiuple disc games can't be added***

Has nothing to do with disc quantity. Has to do with what games are already on XBL store and what isn't. It has to exist digitally previously to make it.

[whoyouwit04]

I'm pretty sure there saving that for the quatum break launch. or even possibly a remake who knows.

[XanderZane]

Damn, you can stream your XBox 360 games to the PC as well. Didn't realize that. Pretty cool. This B/C is turning out to be really awesome. I just can't wait to move many of my digital games over so I can delete them off my XBox 360. I think "Torchlight, Shadow Complex and the Monkey Island games will be the first Indies I move over.

[ZombieKiller]

I'm really trying to justify buying an xbox one and I thought that this list would help but it doesn't. With all the games that already came out this year, I almost have too much play and on a next gen system. I think this is still really cool and maybe one day when they add to the list I'll consider.

Still this is really awesome to see them do this. I hope the list gets bigger AND FAST!

[3-4-5]

* Monday Night Combat !

[CartBlanche]

Good to see the Gears lot on there.
Lots of Arcade games too.
Bastion is conspicuous by its absence.

[RiseofScorpio]

Quite underwhelming but remember they will add more each month including Call of Duty!

"Our launch of 104 titles on Nov. 12 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."

I know I'll be busy with Stick of truth.

[Gazondaily]

Its missing quite a few key titles and highly requested ones such as Red Dead Redemption and Lost Odyssey. Stick of Truth is a touch though.

I reckon we will get loads of backwards compatible games for free for EA titles with EA Access.

[81BX]

Yeah, i believe this is s good list but they will release those via games with gold. From a business stand point its smart. If your free xb1 game for the month is kind of lame, no worries... we have cod or red dead on bc this month as well.

[MrSwankSinatra]

Red Dead Redemption is not going to happen, so you can just forget about that one.

[Gazondaily]

Why is that Swank?

[KilKarazy]

I think Red dead will happen but later down the line as a hype builder for red dead 2

[3-4-5]

they did say "hundreds more " coming later.

[MrSwankSinatra]

Rockstar beats to their own drum, they've never been the developer to stick to the past. They're always moving forward and considering that Rockstar is probably going to come with a new RDR. Rockstar obviously sees no point in allowing RDR to be backwards compatible on Xbox One. What monetary gain does Rockstar get by allowing RDR to be BC on X1? Zero....

[GoPanthers999]

If true on EA Access, that would be awesome in my book. Except, no old sports titles, ugh.

[Automatic79]

I think its a great list to kick the back compatible games. 104 games to kick it off impressive. I saw some games on that list that are awesome and I know I want to go back too.

[christocolus]

I'm happy to see stick of truth on the list and nice to know they'll be adding cod:blackops later. I hope Red dead and lost odyssey make the december cut.

[Christopher]

So jealous now... Stick of Truth. Such a great game.

[Umbasa]

We have to wait till Dec for more like Reach? Man my son is gonna be sad when i tell him. We were under the idea that this list would have Reach :(

[gangsta_red]

MS isn't going to get everyone's favorite 360 game on the first try and more than likely they'll be saving the bigger, heavier hitters for a filler announcement at their events or something similar.

It's all about the timing.

That being said I was really hoping Sonic All Star Racing was added since they have all the other Sonics available from Sega.

[Jmanzare]

You have to remember this is all on the developers not Microsoft. If you don't see a game on the list that you want to be like red dead redemption that's on rockstar

[mcstorm]

Sweet One thing I want to know is dose this include DLC. For example I had Alan Wake with all the DLC dose this come across too?

[gamer7804]

Dlc all works they said

[mcstorm]

Sweet thinks for that info.

[Shazz]

pretty poor list for me personally as ive got all the bigger titles on 360 , good to hear some of them are coming in december though.

[nigelp520]

I like the list. Not big games we were expecting but it lets us know Microsoft is giving us smaller and older titles.

Nights into Dreams
Tron Evolution
Beyond Good and Evil

They arent AAA games but i love we are getting lesser known titles a chance to be played on XBOX ONE :)

[vikingland1]

3 more days to go, I hope all the kinks have been addressed in the NXOE.

[Shadow Man]

Mostly arcades but better than nothing.

[MetalProxy]

I am a little jelly over the arcade games...especially streets of rage

[WeAreLegion]

Just need Crackdown.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

Yup crackdown & red dead all I need ☺️

[ape007]

hell freakin yes red dead is legendary and crackdown 1 and 2 were hidden gems

[ScorpiusX]

Sweet can't wait to play .

[SegaGamer]

Hopefully this is just the beginning.

[meatnormous]

I hope they add Ace Combat 6. Just bought it used in hopes of it.

[GoPanthers999]

Did the same with Burnout Paradise.

[Youngindy21]

Can't wait to play South Park Stick of Truth. That being said, this list kinda sucks. I hope we get more actual 360 games in the future because that list seems to be made up of mostly arcade games.

[xfiles2099]

Not a very good list a lot of the games is kinda crap

[UserNameIsNotTaken]

Or are they?
*X-files theme plays in the background*

[elarcadia]

The list isn't what I expected, but it is nice to know they have some great games waiting in the pipelines. I don't mind waiting; my backlog is already incredibly long anyhow!

[RiPPn]

Pretty underwhelming, was hoping for Forza Horizon.. guess I'll have to dig out the 360..

[NeoGamer232]

This list is a good start! They seem to be making this into a monthly feature where they will release a few every month to keep reminding people of the service!

Very good approach. For example, since Black Ops is coming, it is probably safe to assume Activision will release the rest of CoDs over time.

[MrBeatdown]

That's pretty lousy. Only a third of them are retail games.

Of the 34 retail games I own, most of which are exclusive, only six are on that list. Four are Gears games.

Was hoping for Witcher II, Alan Wake, and Splinter Cell Conviction.

[Tobsesan]

They had to start somewhere.

[MrBeatdown]

They could start somewhere better.

[JasonKCK]

I have to agree with MrBeatdown on that one.

When they said UBI support at first thing I wanted was my Splinter Cell.

[Tobsesan]

Whoa, cant wait to play Beyond Good & Evil HD, Halo Wars and Mirror’s Edge.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Gears 3 and Judgement for Horde modes is all I really wanted off this list... I am happy.

[gamer9]

Ugh, no Deus Ex

[annoyedgamer]

Thanks for reminding me...

[brianunfried]

Those are almost all digital only games, I thought Backward Compatibility was for playing your old discs.

[Death]

It's for playing your 360 games, disc and digital. If you own the digital versions, you have access without the disc on any of your Windows 10 devices also which is a nice feature. For disc based games you own, the disc needs to be in the drive. All the games will be available for purchase digitally if you don't own them.

[spicelicka]

I hope they make DLC free for old games, I mean 7-8 year old games still have DLC costing more than the full game. This would be a great incentive to bring out those older games.

[Orionsangel]

Some of the games from the December list have already been announced. So keep in mind guys. This list is not the be end all of 360 games coming to Xbox One. A lot more are coming on a monthly basis.

http://www.inquisitr.com/25...

[magiciandude]

Good to see Stick of Truth and some of the Metal Slug games on the list!

[XeyedGamer]

95% rubbish.

[mark_parch]

so happy to see stick of truth will get that early next year when ive finished with tomb raider and got well into fallout 4

[BigBoss1810]

No Halo Reach?????

[DafunkyRebel]

I'm right there with you brother, one of the best games is being neglected for crappy titles. This is a bad move by MS not putting their best games at day one to get things

[WitWolfy]

Ffs I just wanted Witcher 3 it was like 30th on the list or something. Bought an Xbox One for nothing!

[Death]

Not until December.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

lol I can hear the millions that cried when there was no RDR on that list.

[cfc83]

I'm just glad they got the ball rolling. Max Payne 3 please.

[Trekster_Gamer]

Always so many people griping.

They said they're going to add many more each month I think it's a great start.

Microsoft has lived up to their end of the bargain so far, I'm sure they'll be adding a lot more titles in a very short order.

[Orionsangel]

Tons of added titles are coming monthly. It's just the first list. So chill.

[MAULxx]

This is a pretty cool feature to have as long as it works well.
BC on 360 was a mess & was abandoned. If they really keep supporting it & it works well it will be a nice feature.

[MilkMan]

Its not a feature (that's PR jargon) its a necessity. MS needs those 360 users to get on board and buy the Xbox One. This is make it or break it time.

[rashada07]

I am glad torchlight is on the list!

[MilkMan]

List sucks. Hope round two is better cause this round blows.

[RyanDJ]

The thing I want I know I will never get. The titles that are off the Xbox 360 store. TMNT, Simpsons Arcade, etc. Unfortunately, even though they could be in our "already purchased" list for download just like they are on the 360, they'll forever be locked on the old console, I'm sure.

[PaulFiend]

No Ninja Gaiden 2?! :(

[tigertron]

I'm gutted there's only one Halo game on there and no Alan Wake at launch...

[ZombieStalker]

I figured this would happen, talk about a huge disappointment.

And why so many arcade games???

I was hoping for the Crackdown games, Left 4 Dead games, Witcher...

[2pacalypsenow]

I hope they support this longer than they did for the 360, I hope they add halo reach soon

[captainexplosion]

Weak list. But I'm very happy Gears Judgment is on there .

[DillyDilly]

Fable 2 is lame. They couldnt get the trilogy collection working ?

[roguedragon1]

Really looking forward to this feature but gotta say there's some really pants titles on this list,mostly in the arcade department. Where the hell is bioshock infinite? And why aren't the top six most requested games not here! Regardless there's a small handful worth playing so all is not lost.

[JW1080]

I was really hoping for Alan Wake since I never played it and just got an Xbox a couple months ago.

[Mega_Volnutt]

This is truly good news for Xbox fans. I wanted CoD MW2-1 and WaW. I hope that Actvision step it up and give permission to run all previous CoD's on Xbox1. But still, it's good news that backwards compatibility is already here.

[JustGamin85]

Think its a added benefit for people who own a 360 and got a xbox one, that being said my last xbox was the OG and i dont think this feature would entice me to go out and buy an xbox one (even the the holiday bundles are crazy) with the amount of games i havent beat/play for system.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

No Red Dead or CoD4 or my personal most desired - Burnout Paradise. Gutted.
Most of those games are arcade games too. I set my expectations too high I guess.

[Mega_Volnutt]

Yeah, I forgot Red Dead wow.

[ape007]

with all pure honesty Microsoft is doing an amazing job lately, tomb raider, halo 5, new UI, backwards comparability and bundles

they're doing better job than sony, they deserve more sales quite frankly

[fulnattybrah]

To the nerds that are complaining, you do know this is just the first release of games, there will be more, right?

[N8]

Condemned for me, I wonder how much it is now.

[MikePWV]

Meh mostly arcade games. The only games on there I got on there are Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Fable II and Viva Piñata.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

I would have cared more if this feature came out two years ago. Still, it's nice to have, but I doubt I will be retiring my Xbox 360 any time soon.

[spoonard]

Dang, can't wait to get down with some last gen Hard Wood Spades on my $500 console.

[LastcenuryRob]

Loving this. Will be nice to have everything in one console. I did have to get an external hard drive for the 360 games and of course more room for newer X1 games. If you don't have the X1 yet, make sure you get the 1tb. That still won't be enough in the long run but should last a while before it fills up. If you are like me, you may not want to delete games when you run out of room.

[Azzanation]

Any one able to tell me if Lost Odyssey is on that list? I am at work and my phone is dumb.

[Grown Folks Talk]

NCAAF14, Splinter Cell, & Ghost Recon will suffice for me. Need to consider the Games On Demand feature was late to the table compared to arcade. Likely a reason full titles are going to be a bit sparse in comparison early.
