Final 23 Xbox One backward compatibility and eight Xbox One X enhanced titles announced
Microsoft shifting its focus to backward compatibility for Project Scarlett.
Microsoft announced the final batch of original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles that will be made backwards compatible for Xbox One, as well as the final backwards compatible Xbox One X enhanced titles.
“We’ve listened closely to community feedback and respect the game libraries you’ve built throughout the last 18 years,” partner director of Xbox platform Jason Ronald said in a blog post. “That’s why we’re taking our work a step further and announced this week that thousands of games from all four generations will be playable on Project Scarlett. As such, we have now shifted our focus to help make the games you love playing on Xbox One compatible with future Xbox hardware. After this week, we have no plans to add additional Original Xbox or Xbox 360 titles to the catalog on Xbox One, but we’re excited to continue our work on Xbox compatibility across platforms and devices, which remains a top priority.”
