Original Xbox games join Microsoft's backward compatibility program
2017-06-11
we believe that games like books movies
and music should be celebrated and
enjoyed by countless generations we're
passionate about preserving and
celebrating the games you own the
classics of the past and the genres you
love to play that's why two years ago we
launched the Xbox backward compatibility
program to bring Xbox 360 games to your
Xbox one and we've seen tremendous
growth in the program today our library
of games stands at 385 titles and over
half of Xbox one gamers have played a
backward compatible game but I've heard
your feedback and you want more today
I'm pleased to announce an exciting
expansion to the program
our team of engineers are working hard
to bring us some of your favorite
original xbox game to today's Xbox one
library including a fan favorite that
I'm asked about often by the community
crimson skies and it looks great and
like the Xbox 360 games og games Lua
look better and play better across the
Xbox one family we'll have more to share
about this program when it launches
later this year I'm proud of the library
of games available today on Xbox one
all of them will benefit from the
performance and power when you play them
on Xbox one X but we won't stop there
I'm excited announced that if you own
Gears of War for forts of horizon 3
killer instinct Halo Wars 2 or minecraft
will providing 4k updates to these
titles for free

our third-party partners that are
planning to provide free updates as part
of our Xbox 1x enhanced program titles
like Final Fantasy 15 Resident Evil 7

large library of titles that you own
