The list of games added to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility grow as the official Xbox blog by Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson includes games such as "Super Meat Boy" and "XCOM: Enemy Unknown." For the month of June, a report from the Bitbag indicates players will be getting games such as "SSX."
Among the games listed are "SSX," a popular snowboarding title, and the RPG "Dragon Age II." "Fight Night Round 4," "Fable Anniversary," "Burn Out Revenge" and "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" complete the rest of the list. The report points out that these may all be released prior to E3, which will take place from June 14 to June 16.
"SSX" has already been confirmed by a report from Eurogamer, which makes the other games quite likely to launch within the next few days. The game is notable for rebooting the franchise and was critically praised at the time of its release. It was launched back when similar titles such as "Cool Boarders" and "Tony Hawk Pro Skating" were not faring well with the market.
The game also falls in line with the recent release of remakes and reboots that were added to the Backwards Compatibility list such as "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" and "DuckTales Remastered."
"Dragon Age II" is a popular RPG from Bioware that did manage to push the series forward but was considered by many as a step back from the critically acclaimed first title, "Dragon Age: Origins." Many complained about the lack of an over-head camera view, weak customization options and a weaker story compared to the first game.
However, given that these are all expected to release during the first half of the month, fans speculate that another series of games will be added for the second half of June. As noted by the Bitbag, no mention of "Red Dead Redemption" has surfaced despite it being one of the most requested titles to be added for Backwards Compatibility.
