Microsoft announced at E3 that Xbox One would become backwards compatible with select Xbox 360 games. The company made good on their promise this week when they made over 100 Xbox 360 games backwards compatible on Xbox One.
A lot of big name titles are not on the list. For instance, there are no Call of Duty games and so far the only Halo game is Spartan Assault, the top-down third-person shooter from 2013. But there are some quality games available through the service, which emulates Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One hardware.
All three Gears of Wars games are available to play on day one of the service. The first Mass Effect will be playable, as will Mirror’s Edge and Assassin’s Creed 2. But most of the other games are either ports of old games like Wolfenstein 3D or downloadable games like Ms. Splosion Man.
Microsoft says that they will be rolling out more titles in the future. Halo Reach and BioShock will be among future titles that will be backwards compatible.
