New titles have recently been included in the list of Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible with Xbox One.
Joining the list of backward compatible games for April are "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2," "Civilization: Revolution," and "Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet." Also added recently were "Cars 2: The Video Game," "Daytona USA," "Dead Rising 2: Case West," "Dead Rising 2: Case Zero," "Far Cry 3," "Grand Theft Auto 4," "Gyromancer," "Hitman: Absolution," "The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match," "Meet the Robinsons," "Moon Diver," "Poker Smash," "Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution," "Space Invaders Infinity Gene," "Stacking," "Street Fighter IV," and "Tower Bloxx Deluxe."
Larry Hyb, who is also known as Major Nelson, the community manager of Xbox, released the full list of games with backward compatibility.
In a previous interview with EuroGamer.net, Xbox engineer Richard Irving said that games' backward compatibility will depend on the publishers, who will need to get licenses to release their games on Xbox One. However, he said that Microsoft is actively negotiating with them in order to make this feature available for hit Xbox 360 games.
The company previously asked fans which titles they want to be made available for the Xbox One. Although he admitted that not all results have been responded to by publishers, there were some who responded well to fans' clamor. He also said that some may be taking longer to get ready compared to the others that were already released.
The backward compatibility feature of Xbox One, which was introduced in November 2015, allows players to play Xbox 360 titles on this console. This innovation has led Mike Nichols of Microsoft to previously say to Gamespot that this is not the only biggest update made on any Xbox console, it is also the most significant one made to any console ever.
"It's arguably the most significant release we've ever made to a console--and that anybody's ever made to a console," he said.
