Xbox One Backwards Compatibility List Update: THIRTEEN Original Xbox games CONFIRMED | PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch News, Reviews and Features - Daily Star Are these the first original Xbox games coming to Backwards Compatibility?


Microsoft has now confirmed that Original Xbox backwards compatibility will begin TOMORROW, October 24.

IGN was handed the pleasure of revealing the good news on behalf of Microsoft, which begins with not ten, but 13 backwards-compatible original Xbox games.

All games are enhanced with 1080p resolution, higher and/or smoother framerates as well as faster loading times.

From tomorrow you'll be able to play:

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
• Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
• Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
• Psychonauts
• Dead to Rights
• Black
• Grabbed by the Ghoulies
• Sid Meier’s Pirates!
• Red Faction II
• BloodRayne 2
• The King of Fighters Neowave

If you still have your original Xbox One discs to hand, all you need to do is insert those into your console to begin downloading.

Digital licenses will also carry over.

Alternatively, you can also buy the game once again from the Microsoft Store. Further developments for fans of Microsoft's soon to be released Backwards Compatibility feature for Original Xbox games has come overnight.

The rather prominent Microsoft leaker, known as WalkingCat on Twitter, has posted a screenshot of what appears to be a selection of TEN original Xbox games coming to Microsoft's updated backwards compatible catelogue.

Best of all, it looks real legit and fits past Microsoft promotional materials (see above)

As you might see, the llist includes Crimson Skies and and Fusion Frenzy, both previously announced at E3, but there's also some excellent additions. The full list includes:

• Prince of Persia
• Neowave: The King of Fighters
• Pirates!
• Bloodrayne 2 Grabbed by the Ghoulies
• Crimson Skies
• Fusion Frenzy

There's still no indication from WalkingCat as to when these original Xbox games might launch for the console, but with this image and several titles also appearing on the Microsoft/Xbox store we imagine the announcement can't be too far behind.

ORIGINAL STORY - This week Microsoft failed to add a single new title to their ever-expanding Xbox One backwards compatibility library with Major Nelson failing to announce any new game announcements for Xbox One users.

At the very least Xbox One users can download and enjoy a new backwards compatible title as part of October's Games with Gold 2017 offer.

Xbox Live subscribers can now download download Medal of Honor: Airborne until the end of the month.

But despite this lack of new games, there has been one rather BIG and important new discovery when it comes to the addition of original Xbox games for the Xbox One console.

Fans were recently told that they might not have to wait too much longer for original Xbox Backwards Compatibility to finally arrive, with Xbox boss Phil Spencer saying last week, "We're close, we're really close."

And now if reports are to be believed, some have finally arrived. Xbox One Backwards Compatible List

An eagle-eyed Reddit user (HiPanda123) has found some official game hubs and listings for several titles, including: The King of Fighters: Neo Wave, Dead to Rights, Red Faction II, Crimson Skies, and Fuzion Frenzy.

"Interestingly, the Store pages for each title appear to be offline (which makes sense since the games haven’t launched yet) but some of them such as Fuzion Frenzy do appear in search results complete with original Xbox branding," writes onmsft.com, a Microsoft focussed tech site.

"Clicking on these search results simply directs the user to an error page though."

It's not clear when these games will launch, but we're willing to bet the launch of Xbox One X will be the suitable foil for such a big announcement.

Speaking to Gamespot recently, Spencer said:
