After the addition of the horror action game "Alice Madness Returns," Microsoft has added two more games to their ever-growing roster for the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program. The games are "Rocket Knight" and "Shadows of the Damned."
According to Game Spot, with the two games added to the list, the roster of the Xbox 360 games now available for Xbox One has expanded by fifteen. As always, players who have a copy of the game will have it added in their Xbox One game library.
"Rocket Knight" is developed by Konami, which is reminiscent of the side-scrolling platforming series from the Sega Genesis days. In this game, Sparkster returns to take on the evil pig army in order to hopefully restore the peace to the land.
"Shadows of the Damned" is published by EA and produced by Suda51 and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture. The game lets the players take on the role of Garcia Hotspur, a Mexican demon hunter who goes on a goofy, over-the-top action adventure even at the risk of his true love's life.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is ditching the Xbox One Snap Feature as preparation for the upcoming Project Scorpio upgrade. Xbox Director of Program Management Mike Ybarra took to Twitter to explain the reason behind the decision, Game Rant reported.
We replaced Snap to improve multitasking, reduce memory use, improve overall speed, and free up resources going forward for bigger things.

Ybarra said that replacing the Snap will improve the overall speed of the console, as well as its multitasking capabilities and memory use. It also frees up resources in order to go forward in bigger things, which simplifies everything while improving speed.
The bigger things stated are not yet revealed, but it is speculated that Microsoft is currently working on a universal app that can be used for the Xbox One. Right now, removing the Snap feature seems to be another step in improving the overall improvement process for the Xbox One.
Here is the reveal trailer for Xbox One S:
