Microsoft has released a slew of new titles for its Xbox One Backward Compatibility feature, taking the list of games for Xbox One owners to beyond 130.
Larry Hryb of Xbox recently announced that "Sam & Max," "Trials HD," "LEGO Batman" and the psychological survival horror video game "Alan Wake's American Nightmare" are currently playable on Xbox One via the Backward Compatibility feature.
In addition, even the original "Dark Souls" will be backwards compatible with Xbox One soon. It will be available for free with the entire digital pre-orders of "Dark Souls 3," which launches in the UK on PS4, Xbox One and PC on April 12.
However, fans who expected Microsoft to include "Red Dead Redemption," which was accidentally made available on Xbox One before being removed again, in the list, are somewhat disheartened. On the other hand, apparently another popular games series is likely to make an appearance, beginning with "Hitman: Absolution," the Express reported.
Meanwhile, IO Interactive studio head Hannes Seifert recently revealed in an interview that he wants to see more of the back catalogue of the developers to appear in the Backward Compatibility program, but could not offer precise dates. This is an indication that fans will soon see a lot of new titles in the Backward Compatibility list, such as "Hitman: Blood Money," "Hitman: Contracts," and "Kane & Lynch: Dead Men."
Microsoft has also confirmed that "Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days," while it failed to confirm whether "Hitman: Absolution," which is in high demand by the fans, will be included in the list anytime soon. The tech giant has said that they plan to release the games as and when they are ready for the Backward Compatibility program, instead of holding them and releasing them later in monthly updates.
Xbox One fans will really be delighted to know that the sci-fi shooter game "Galaga," one of the biggest titles in the genre, is currently available on Xbox One via Backward Compatibility. In addition, the company has also included the Xbox 360 edition of Namco Bandai's game to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program, Windows Central reported.
