Xbox One backward compatible titles unveiled, still no Alan Wake

Microsoft have finally released the full list of Xbox 360 games in the Xbox One backwards compatibility programme. All of these will be part of the New Xbox One Experience launching on 12 November.

Some of the titles have already been spoken about, such as Gears of War and Castle Crashers, but other titles, like Metal Slug 3 and Golden Axe appear on the list. It’s interesting to note that 74 of the 104 announced games are Xbox Live Arcade titles, and many are titles not originally created for the Xbox 360.

Overall the list is a little underwhelming with standard Xbox 360 titles often on discount appearing in this first wave. There are some interesting decisions, such as the inclusion of Fable II, but not fan-favourite Fable Anniversary.

As Mike Ybarra, Director of Program Management for Xbox, states, all Xbox 360 Games with Gold titles will be backwards compatible after 12 November.

“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,” adds Ybarra.
