(Xbox Website)Xbox One Backwards Compatibility

The library of the backwards compatible games of Xbox One is continually growing, and more titles have been added recently. With this, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has been quite happy with the results since there are over 250 titles from Xbox 360 which are now available.

According to reports, the community manager of Xbox has announced recently in his Twitter account that two more Xbox 360 titles were added to Xbox One as being backwards compatible. The two games are considered classics in the previous console and these are "Silent Hill: Downpour" and "Eat Lead." A game from the Xbox Arcade was also included which was "Puzzle Quest."

Aside from those games, four more titles were actually added recently which were "Jurassic Park: The Game," "Battlestations: Midway," "Dragon's Lair" and "Tour de France 2011." Other games that were already included in the library as well were "Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed," "Puzzle Quest Galactrix," "Puzzle Quest 2," "Lost Odyssey," and "Toy Story 3."

These titles will show up automatically in the Xbox One game library of the user if they have a copy of these Xbox 360 titles. If not, gamers can just download them by searching the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility store which can also be found on the Xbox store.

Other video games that are expected to have backwards compatibility as well are "Skate 3" and "Blue Dragon." Based on reports, a fan asked Phil Spencer on Twitter if "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" will also be part of the library. He kindly replied, "I like the progress on [backwards compatibility]. We'd like to have all and work on [third-party] games is always a partnership with publisher."

"Call of Duty 3" and "Call of Duty: World At War" already gained support back in September so the chance is high for "Black Ops 2" to be available in backwards compatibility. So far the efforts of the people who are making Xbox 360 titles playable in Xbox One have been impressive.
