While there are plenty of Xbox mainstays that undoubtedly deserve a new life on the Xbox Series X|S, technical feasibility and copyright law are the main forces that determine which games get the backward compatible renewal treatment. This latest supplement to the backward compatibility catalog doubles as a thorough history of the Xbox canon, featuring a diverse spread of first-party Xbox favorites like Beautiful Katamari and Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, multi-platform hits including Red Dead Revolver and the TimeSplitters series plus cult classic titles like 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand which would cost you a pretty penny on the resale market.īe sure to savor this unexpected nostalgia deluge while you have it – Microsoft emphasized that this will be the final update to the backward compatibility library. This massive update has been a long-time coming since the Xbox One backward compatibility program began in 2015, and the timing couldn’t be much better - the pandemic-induced retro gaming craze has generated tons of interest in revisiting classic games, but original copies of old games have become prohibitively expensive and difficult to find. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Xbox console, Microsoft added more than 70 beloved Xbox and Xbox 360 titles to its backward compatibility catalog.
