43 More Added to Xbox One Backwards Compatibility List - Including Dark Souls II and The Witcher II

Grab It is reporting that a further 43 backwards compatible Xbox 360 games have been unearthed, bringing the total to 130. This includes such notables as Dark Souls II, Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands and The Witcher II.

[SlappingOysters]

Top of my list that still hasn't been added is the last two Mass Effect and Dead Space games, and Skate 3. And maybe Spec Ops; The Line - which sits in my pile of shame.

[sarahnade]

Mass Effect 3 sits at the very top of my pile of shame. Really hope they add it.

[SlappingOysters]

I got halfway through it and lost momentum. Didn't quite grab me like the first two. I still haven't updated though, and do look forward to going through an seeing the original ending. One of these days

[4Sh0w]

-Wow, thats just awesome fan service.

[4Sh0w]

How does giving your fans their most requested feature for FREE= BC, make old games the future????

-lol, I wont play most of these again anytime soon but you could sell your 360 just to add to your X1 library, then play it all on 1 console which gives me alot of very convenient options along with NEW releases of some bigtime exclusives coming from now through out 2016:

Fable Legends
Forza6
Halo5
RoTR
Sea of Thieves
ReCore
Quantum Break
Crackdown3
Scalebound
Gears of War4

-hmmm looks like you conveniently forgot about those, huh?

[Tedakin]

Yeah ME3 is my top shame game in my back catalogue.

[WowSoChill]

@DragonFly

Nothing is stopping you from playing all the new games released each year on Xbox One..... oh wait, you dont even own one

i will be playing Halo 5, Tomb Raider, Forza 6, Gears UE, Fable Legends and more this Year on Xbox One for new Games

[Grap]

I told you guys there's always that one guy complaining about everything.

[t-hall785]

@Dragonfly...PSNow says hi!!! I bet Sony invested wayyy more into PSNow than MS did. And they're CHARGING YOU for it...smh

[Utalkin2me]

@t-hall785

Your right cause you can't play your old games on your old console....SMH.

[Bigpappy]

Owning Xbox feels like good sex. It keeps giving and giving. Keeping a smile on my face.

[Professor_K]

lewd

[sonarus]

This generation seems to be defined by lame remasters and glorifying old games. SMH.

[dantesparda]

Wow, a whole 43 more games added to the list, totaling 140? That's Great! Only 1020+ more to go!

But seriously, this says a lot about the X1, when one of its most looked forward to features is to play last gen games (on an emulator that doesn't up-res them like the 360 did) and runs a lot of the games at even worst framerates than the 360. Yay!

And if you really cared this much to play your last gen games, then you would have kept your 360. Don't get me wrong, it nice to have the ability, but lets not get carried away with it. Oh but thats right, this is a rabid let's just say "fan" site, where everything your beloved company does is praised to Kingdomcome! And the greatest thing ever.

[lvl_headed_gmr]

EA has said they want to bring all their last gen games to EAAccess.

I expect EA will release all their last gen games through EAAccess...meaning you'll need to pay to play all 5he Dead Space games and Mass Effect games.

I di hope though that those who already own the games can still play them without the EAaccess...however, I have EAAccess so either way, i'm covered.

[Kingdomcome247]

None of these games show up on the official Xbox site list. Can anyone confirm these for me by popping Infinite in their Xbox One? I will buy it tomorrow if true.

[ABizzel1]

Left 4 Dead 2

[Perjoss]

Dont get me wrong this BC is awesome, but if you love so many 360 games then just buy a 360, they are cheap and the newer models dont even red ring anymore.

[Imalwaysright]

Why would he spend more money buying a 360 when he already has a console that will allow him to play his 360 games?

[Tedakin]

Or can just buy an Xbox One and have 2 consoles in 1.

[Kiwi66]

The 360's haven't red ringed for years

[lemoncake]

There's also good benefits to playing these on Xbox one instead of 360 as you get to use the Xbox one controller, the system is almost completely silent unlike the 360 and you have acces to all the Xbox one interface features like video clips, screenshots, broadcasting etc.

If the BC in the Xbox one was not very good I would have said get a 360 but the BC is just so very good, even getting games to run better in some cases. You are crazy if you go out and buy a 360 now, put that money towards an Xbox one and you are sorted.

[NemesisTheGod]

You get next gen features on your xbox one, it's better to play your old games on new hardware. It's not the same as 360's backwards compatibility.

[falviousuk]

You can also record video and take screenshots.

Games load faster than on the 360. You have a singular catalogue.

You dont need two consoles sitting under your TV.

You dont need to have multiple controllers lying about.

There are many reasons why having BC is a great option, and thats what it is, an option. It doesnt take awy from new games, xbox one games etc.

It just adds to it.

there are plenty of people out there who have never played these games. So the xbox one now has a very large game library, and with all the high quality upcoming titles this year and next, there is no reason not to get one if you enjoy gaming.

Ignore the fanboys and jsut have fun with Games, dont play the console name game.

[Perjoss]

"Why would he spend more money buying a 360 when he already has a console that will allow him to play his 360 games?"

mainly because the One will never have 100% BC for many reasons, expired licenses for example. The 360 will play all 360 games with no problems, excluding any online only games that have had their servers taken down for whatever reason.

[Utalkin2me]

@Imalwaysright

Obviously if he has 360 games then he obviously has a 360 to go with it.

[meanthyme]

Or get an xbox one and get 4 free games a month.

[MeliMel]

Why buy a xbox 360 when I can buy Xbox One this holiday and play Xbox One and my 360 games. This makes it easier for those who already have 360 to make the jump.

[peshkavusCA]

Xbox 360 can't play Xbox One games though...

[Spid3r6]

So if I have the the Xbox One you are telling me to add buy the 360 instead?? All I be missing is my friends on Xbox One along with online MP, also would have to switch from the Xbox One to the 360 along with reconnecting the network....Now thats pretty backwards to me....I cant wait for us to be able to jump to 360 games when ever we want too. Check this scenario out...Playing with friends Gears Of War Ultimate Edition,(you know what would be cool is to jump onto horde mode on Gears of War 2) I know of all my friends have it boom jump onto Gears 2 easy as pie...Come on you have to admit this feature is pretty killer. And the fact that many people are ecstatic proves it.

[XanderZane]

Most gamers already own one. B/C would allow you to sell your old XBox 360 consoles. Use the money to buy the new games coming out this holiday on the XB1. I'm glad they added the Witcher 2 to the list. I still have a sealed collectors edition version that I'm thinking about selling.

[JasonKCK]

You guys downplaying BC should just stop, your methods are downright embarrassing.

[Trekster_Gamer]

PerossTROLL..
RROD has been non issue for half a decade. In fact the past to xbox360 revisions have haf the most stable and built in safety features !

BC is awesome, on top of all the great games released and VERY soon to be released on the XB1 we will soon have FREE BC as it should be!

[SlappingOysters]

Pretty cool you can play them all on PC, too. Not for me, but still a great option.

[falviousuk]

No you cant

[SlappingOysters]

Did you read the article - yes you can.

[Death]

@falv,

You can access all of your Xbox One and Xbox 360 games that are b/c through your Windows 10 PC or Surface. The games are streamed from your Xbox One and you do lose access to the console locally when streaming. You do however have full control of the system remotely. It's pretty obvious this has been in the planning stages for quite some time. Had we retained the ability to rip our games we would have full access to our library without the need for the disc to be in the drive.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

Just waiting on you Red Dead.... come on!!

[gixer]

Agree. Rockstar need to get with the program and agree to their titles being BC. If not just announce that your titles are not going to be due to future plans for remastered versions (would gladly pay for a remastered RDR) To be fair this can only be the reason why Rockstar and other companies under Activision and not agreeing to it. Activision are scared of losing out on some future cash a remaster or collection might produce.

[ghostface9]

if they already added mass effect the original obviousily they will add the other two. Dead space was already shown as one of the images for the backwards compatibility list of games at gamescom so it will be added to skate 3 should too because EA is on board with bc.

[mhunterjr]

The licensed soundtrack in skate might prevent it from getting BC support... Keep your fingered crossed...

[user9950279]

Only game on my list is Full House Poker, not a peep about it yet. Plenty of votes and an active online community. Kind of starting to irk me.... hoping MS' goes for a hull HD port instead.

[StrayaKNT]

"Grab It is reporting that a further 43 backwards compatible Xbox 360 games have been unearthed, bringing the total to 130"

WOW 130 bc titles added to the x1 library later this year ON TOP of the already brutal exclusive line up. You cant get better than that guys :)

[SlappingOysters]

I can't say I would be inclined to replay anything I had already finished, but excited about the chance to look at some titles I missed first time around.

I wonder if the pre-owned price of Xbox 360 games on this list will now go up?

[LonDonE]

Trust me they will buddy buy every 360 game u want asap while prices are dirt cheap!!

[Edward75]

Some already have at gamestop. Many titles that are multiplatform for last gen show a difference now in anticipation.

Granted it's by a dollar or two more only. Like red dead redemption, call of duty black ops 2, and even batman arkham asylum are more expensive on 360 than ps3 now.

[Death]

@Oyster,

We may see a temporary price bump as demand increases, but once the digital copies are available for sale used prices should plummet.

[Bigpappy]

I don't know this, but there may be the option to buy the digital version, if you don't already own the game. I say tis because you don't actually play your old games, when you put them in the drive, a digital copy is downloaded. I suspect this is why some publishers are quick to approve BC. Hopefully the price is dirt cheap.

[Paytaa]

Sweet now I can revist The Witcher 2 after I finish The Witcher 3.

[WitWolfy]

EXACTLY what I'm gonna do this afternoon!

[Eterna1Ice]

I could finish it right before I return to the patched III, might even start a new game to change some choices.

[annoyedgamer]

And most Gold members already have a copy of the game for free.

[AtomHeart623]

I really hope arkham origins would be added to the list. It is the best of the arkham games aside from arkham city. Montreal nailed boss battles and atmosphere.

[FoxyGotGame]

Arkham Origins is good, but not as good as Arkham City. But better "In my opinion" than Arkham Knight, because I refuse to replay it due to S/Tank Missions. I found those Tedious.

I still have my 360, so it's hard for me to get pumped over B/C.

[Spid3r6]

Once friends start revisiting MP on many of the old games you might want to think twice....I know I will be playing some good old fashion Rainbow six vegas and vegas 2 along with the new one. The possibilities are endless.

[Benchm4rk]

So i wasn't the only one then. The Batmobile was cool for the first hour but god did those missions with it get tedious. Hated how they forced it on you throughout the whole game.

[Rookie_Monster]

I am glad Dark souls and Dark Souls II were added even when a HD version of DS2 is already available. This bolds well for future BC for games that have already have HD remastered.

[Sureshot]

U always get down voted for speaking the truth...

[Gamer4life13]

Personally I don't agree with them adding DS2 I mean what's the point when they have a remastered version of it. Now the first DS I can agree with. After looking at the list i felt like some of the titles shouldn't be there as there are already remastered versions of the games on Xbox one. It's a waste as they could of added games that aren't already remastered on Xbox one.

[elarcadia]

If the publishers have agreed to it, why not add it? Just because they decided to add DSII does not mean they could have "added another in its place". MS has to get permission from all third-party game companies to allow their games to be added to the BC list. It is not a first come first serve system amigo.

[mhunterjr]

The point is, people have a choice to buy the cheaper last gen version if they aren't too pressed to play with shinier graphics...

It also means that people who already own the 360 versions can continue to play them, without holding onto your old console...

I don't understand why you would disagree' with having more choice as a consumers... You act as if making games that have remasters BC takes space away from other games... There's unlimited space in the program... Publishers just have to allow it.

[Death]

@Gamer,

Are you really complaining that remastered titles have b/c support for those that don't wish to repurchase them? There is no waste of time here since the games run in emulated hardware. They aren't being rewritten for b/c.

[Jmanzare]

At least this debunks the argument that publishers won't allow games to be Bc because of remasters . Also I have ds2 on 360 and xb1 I will probably install the backwards compatible version too because of the characters I created on 360 I'm on ng++

[thisgamer503]

Lol ridiculous point of view. So why is it a waste to add ds2 again? Give any real reason. If the publisher agreed then it is little work on MS's part to add it. If I already own it on 360, why should I be forced to buy the remaster? Maybe I want to be able to record while playing? Can't do that on 360, but I can do that on the One with the 360 version of the game, so there are benefits of playing the old games on the newer console. Fail to realize this or....? SO why again? Oh yeah, you're a butthurt little fanboy. My bad

[HighResHero]

I was thinking something similar.
Any idea if you will have be online or login to XBL to play any of the BC games? or can I just download the update, then put any (compatible) disc in and start playing?
I ask because this BC thing has me interested in maybe buying an XbOne.
$350 or less seems like a great deal if I can play RDR, Bayonetta, etc. discs also.

[thisgamer503]

Once you download the game you can play it offline.

[Rookie_Monster]

It works pretty much like how the XB1 or PS4 games are today.

If you already have the disc and it is a BC title, all you have to do is put it in the disc drive and the system will direct you to DL a digital version of the game and once downloaded, you can play it with your disc in the trey and no online is needed, unless you want to play MP online of course.

If you have or planning to buy the digital copy of the game in the Live marketplace, then the digital copy will just show up at your home dash game list and you can proceed to download it to your HDD or external HDD and play.

MS made it simple and easy with the added benefit of still able to play against other x360 gamers on their X360 consoles online, purchase and use all DLCs for the game, and also able to use the XB1 features such as DVr, Streamin. Also, every 2 X360 games for gold that you get every month from now on will be BC with the XB1.

[vikingland1]

I want the stick of truth to be added to the list

[Paytaa]

That's been in the depths of my backlog for like over a year now so that would be sick.

[vikingland1]

I would also like Fable anniversary edition.

[pelenow]

I hope Ubi gives it as freebie with the sequel on XO. That would be sweeeet.

[Tedakin]

Is this out now for preview members? The newly added titles...

[DDOS-DelDaemonicOSes]

I wish people wouldn't so easily forget all the Negative Nancys against Ms... who said that it would be a problem to get developers to agree to BC... over and over Sony fans appear wrong about everything, such as "cloud powerz".

It really would be great if Sony fans would learn to quit naysaying "Ms", since that is generally always fLAMER.

@WitWolfy, with "Ms", that means you're thinking "straight".

[thrust]

Sony = hype that is all the quicker people see this he better!

[Gamer4life13]

Personally if Sony had a 1 year subscription to able to play unlimited PS3 games on PS4 that would destroy Xbox one BC. But at this point I guess BC is better sense Sony doesn't have a 1 year subscription for PS Now.

[Dread]

Why is paying for a one year subscription better than FREE bc?

[MeliMel]

Psnow is garbage service. Go ahead and rent games. We own ours!

[Foehammer]

That's an interest point, but there is a REALLY BIG problem...

As you can see from all the ppl spamming the Cloud articles, those ppl don't want to be reliant on the internet.

Check some of the articles and see for yourself

[thisgamer503]

Oh man, the salt is just raining down on n4g today

[Death]

@DDOS,

Don't be afraid to take the high road here. We've all been caught up in the cycle of flame. If a few said it and they were wrong, we all know it now. There is no need to throw fuel to a fire that could outshine the sun. Regardless out system of choice, we are all gamers.

[Bigpappy]

Nope, I disagree. Those kids need to be shamed so they may learn. One should always be aware that there are consequences to what you say and do. When you speak, you should be willing to accept those consequences.

[Death]

That may be true to a degree Pappy, but as someone a little older and hopefully a little wiser, shouldn't we at least be trying to lead by example? Beside, you've been around long enough to know that shaming doesn't actually work. It just continues the cycle. A lot of those that are here that are younger haven't had enough time to grow and mature. Life experiences will go a lot further than an old man picking on kids on the internets.

[HighResHero]

If it weren't for some of the negative Nancys it might be an always online system and they might not have added so many great features.

@MeliMel

" Psnow is garbage service. Go ahead and rent games. We own ours! "

Totally agree with that.

Like movies, it's nice to be able to own the ones you like.

[hemmo1986]

YES!!! Now I can play my old 360 games. Exactly what I bought my console for "sigh"

[WitWolfy]

You and me both, brother.

[Team_Litt]

Because having more options for free is taking away from the new games right? Oh wait, Forza 6, Halo 5, RotTR, Fable Legends are still coming out on top of the 130 BC games.

I like options but screw me right?

[magiciandude]

"YES!!! Now I can play my old 360 games. Exactly what I bought my console for"

YES!!! Now I can sell my Xbox 360 and just use my Xbox One for all my games. Exactly what I bought my console for, all in one entertainment.

[hemmo1986]

YAY!!!

[gangsta_red]

Dat logic!

Lol, now your new console can do both. "sigh"

[hemmo1986]

Its not bad. But me personally don't care for it. Same as I didn't give a hoot that the first model ps3 could play psone games. I thought it was good but ended up never playing those games anyway. Same when the ps2 was backwards compatible.

Theres so many games to play, do I really have time to go back and play games that I played only a few years ago.

Between working full time and a social life.

Sorry for anyone that my opinion differs to.

[Professor_K]

No you cant, ps4 cant play old 360 games

[magiciandude]

Or PS3, PS2, and PS1 games for that matter.

[thisgamer503]

But it can play old ps3 games. For a fee. For a ridiculously priced fee. Somehow this service is equal or better to BC in the eyes of some fanboys

[JasonKCK]

Professor_K your comment makes me wish N4G had a burn button right next to well said. Nice burn.

[WitWolfy]

I JIZZED IN MY PANTS!!!!!!!!!

[Mizikiel]

Dark souls 2 is kinda of pointless since there is already remastered version of the game on xbox one.

[Rookie_Monster]

A. People like me that have the X360 game, allow me to play it without having to buy a new shiny HD version with my saves, DLCs, and achievements all carried over to the XB1.

B. XB1 owners never played or have the X360 version, they can get the shiny HD Remastered version with higher resolution and FPS.

It is nice to have options.

[Gamer4life13]

I disagree why would you wanna still play your old DS2 if u can get it remastered with all DLC included. Really they could of added a completely new game for BC that isn't remastered on Xbox one.

[thisgamer503]

@Gamer4life13

Do you work for MS? You realize adding games doesn't cost them money. THey have to get the rights from the game publishers. Adding DS2 doesn't take away from ANY other games being added. Learn how things work before making stupid ass commments.

[gangsta_red]

Get the remastered version if you want to. Get the original copy in some bargain bin for 10-15 bux if you want to.

This is what we like to call options. Doesn't seem pointless to me.

[Professor_K]

Some people just like the better alternative

The FREE alternative

[Mizikiel]

You guys must be poor as fuck. I would understand if the remastered version wasn't in 60fps but it is.

[sullynathan]

The list is looking good and can only get better. It makes me mad that my 360 got RROD and I sold my games.

Can you still play downloadable Xbox Originals and Xbox 360 titles on the Xbox One?

[Jmanzare]

Yes, all Bc arcade and on demand games that you own will show up all the way to the right in your game library under "ready to download"

[fulnattybrah]

Add ncaa football 14 and ncaa basketball 2k8 and I'll be a very happy man

[ninsigma]

Bc games are coming in thick and fast now! Hope some of these get the same treatment as with the gears remaster where I can get them for free with purchase of new game. I am currently lacking right now with my 360 library count of 0 xD

[Hugodastrevas]

I'm what you guys would call a *Playstation Fanboy* (a mild one though), but, i'm hoping this backward compatibility sticks on the Xbone, so Sony can open their eyes and stop charging people to play games they already own for older playstation consoles!

[elarcadia]

I bought a PS3 in February instead of a PS4 primarily becuase I missed a lot of games on the last PS gen. However, I already owned 15+ PS3 games (I used to use old roommates systems), so for my needs it made more sense to get a PS3. At this point, PS4 is the only system I don't own, so I am hoping to pick it up next year. If it had BC already, I would have 100% picked up a PS4 instead of a PS3. I doubt they are ever going to be able to allow physical BC though...it would be far too expensive and far too complicated.

[ScorpiusX]

Sweet

[DillyDilly]

No Lost Odyssey yet is surprising & they better add stuff like the original Far Cry which is on the 360, Assassins Creed 3, Saints Row 2. They are probably adding stuff currently on XBOX Live Digitally. Hopefully they add missing games not on the store yet. So that they can be taken advantage of here

[elarcadia]

I want Lost Odyssey so bad! My guess is they are trying to figure out how to make both the physical and DNL versions acceptable...the physical does have 4 discs after all heh.

[DarkBlood]

Same here im still hoping for lost odyssey and blue dragon

[MilkMan]

Lets go bro! My Xbone is waiting to play some games.

[Smootherkuzz]

If you have a fanatec racing wheel made for the Xbox 360 to play FMS etc. Then yes keep a 360 in the rig config. I love my CSR setup that don't work wilth Xbox one. I have not invested money into a Xbox One wheel setup and maybe a while before that happens, it has become too expense.

[Elit3Nick]

hoping to see the other Mass Effects added soon, with my other favorite Burnout Paradise.

[DillyDilly]

Problem is they are not on the XBOX 360 Digital Store. They seem to be adding games that are right now on the digital store

[Fezza]

Assassins Creed: Rogue please.

[Jmanzare]

Yes ^
The only assassin's Creed game I haven't played.. That or a remastered version. If ubisoft was smart they would include it with their new assassin's Creed game coming out this fall via bc

[elarcadia]

I am starting to think that the N4G fanbase is very heavily made up of PS Pony's. I love both systems, but constantly seeing a company/system getting berated for everything is starting to get old. It might be time to switch to IGN.

[MeliMel]

Stick it out bro. The fanboy rhetoric happens on all sites. Just some like N4G are worse than others. Still N4G is a fun time and has alot of funny self entitled gamers.

[elarcadia]

Haha I will stick it out. I like a lot of the articles on this site. The comments on this article are actually pretty tame compared to most...I just have to keep reminding myself that 9-year-old immature kids have access to N4G too ;).

[urwifeminder]

Great list will start picking up the ones my 360 friends still play just need the battlestations series .

[GusBricker]

Come on Assassin's Creed Rogue and Southpark The Stick of Truth!

[FPS_D3TH]

I just want Max Payne 3... And Red Dead obviously.

[Jmanzare]

Wasn't a huge fan of max Payne 3. Rdr is a great game too but I'm honestly surprised so many people want it.. I normally don't revisit sp games.. Granted it does have a mp mode it's just not that great lol

[FPS_D3TH]

IMO, Max Payne 3 was great game until they riddled the game with dlc perks. I think people just need to get good, but it is a hard game to get used to the controls. I've pulled some of the craziest action moves online I've never experienced before, especially with slo-mo. Not to mention, besides the hate, I still enjoyed the single player story for what it was. And RDR is only available on last gen consoles and still a great game too.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

X-Com Enemy Unknown needs to make the list...especially since they aren't making X-com 2 for consoles currently.

[hiawa23]

Awesome list. Thank U, MS.

[siphil]

Looking forward to the backwards compatibility coming online. got the witcher 2 when it was on games with gold so I might finally get round to playing now.

[MeliMel]

Where is Project Gotham series, Modern Warfare..or did I miss em?

[DEAGLETURK]

I want see

Silent Hill HD Collection

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

Orange Box

Portal 2

Waw 5

Dead space 2

Read dead redemtion + Undead

[Hogarth]

This list is so unconfirmed

Read the text just above the list and it says

Note: This list has been put together from a collection of sources, including official releases and imagery, and interviews and insights provided by specialist press. They should be taken as an educated guide until officially confirmed.

So nothing on the list that new isn't playable just yet

[soul-assassin-]

I doubt very much we will see any call of duty games on backwards compatibility....activision are not interested in you playing past games.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

All i want is Virtua Fighter 5 FS. Come on Sega!

[starman]

Its so awesome that MS is making real effort to preserve our VG libraries, that were hefty investments.

Makes me really regret buying hundreds of those now forgotten PS3 games (3rd party) instead of on the 360 :(.

wow games are getting added a lot faster than i thought developers are really getting on board with this. love the free copies being given with new games aswell like fallout and rainbow six

Hold the phone: Child of Eden? Regardless of game quality...that game's Kinect! I thought Kinect couldn't be run on the new system!?!?!?? When did this happen???

FFS this list is just a list of titles that are likely to come

NONE OF THESE TITLES ARE PLAYABLE TODAY, OR TOMORROW

Article is poor and misleading

i wouldn't recommend selling your 360 if you still have it...there's a lot you will be able to do with it down the road. especially when they said they were contemplating in making it open source...
i still have my original xbox and have the pleasure of playing old school games from various platforms like neo-geo,snes,n64,genesis,satur n, nintendo, arcade, and even playstation.

IF Witcher 3 on x1 will get savegame import this is huge win.

every month they should show the % of owners that utilize this

I'll bet the numbers will be high.
