"Backwards" 76 more games
Microsoft has added new titles to the list of old Xbox games that can also be played on newer consoles.
In honor of the 20th birthday of the Xbox console, Microsoft announced last week that it has added 76 new titles to its library of Xbox 360 and original Xbox games that can also be played on newer consoles such as Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Games like Skate 2 and Star Wars: Jedi Knight II have now been joined by, for example, the Max Payne series of games, the F.E.A.R franchise, Fallout: New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls IV, Dragon Age: Origins, Dead Space 2 and a bunch of others.
All of the newly added games also support Auto HDR on Xbox Series X and Series S, and all of them are upscaled so that they look "modern" even on the new consoles. For Xbox Series X and Xbox One X, the resolution compared to the original is increased by four times, with Xbox Series S by three times, and with Xbox One S and Xbox One by two times. Eleven new titles also support increasing speed (FPS Boost) up to 60 frames per second, and the functionality has also been added to 26 titles that were already in the library.
The move is actually quite surprising as Microsoft hasn't added new titles to the compatibility program since 2019, so we all thought the program was over. But that hasn't happened yet. It won't last forever, but for now it's like this "Although we remain focused on preserving and improving games, due to licensing, legal and technical restrictions, we are slowly reaching the limit of our ability to bring new games from the past into our catalog," said Peggy Lo, head of the Xbox compatibility program.
