Xbox Backward Compatibility Adds 70+ New Games, No More BC Updates Coming
Xbox Backward Compatibility Adds 70+ New Games, No More BC Updates Coming-October 2024
Oct 22, 2024 4:43 PM

  Microsoft just wrapped their Xbox 20th Anniversary Livestream, and fittingly given the show’s focus on the brand’s history, they announced over 70 additions to their Xbox backward compatibility program. Some key additions include the entire Max Payne and FEAR franchises, the Xbox Timesplitters games, an array of fan-favorite Star Wars titles, and of course, that timeless classic, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Unfortunately, Microsoft has also confirmed this will be the last update to the backward compatibility program, due to “licensing, legal and technical constraints.”

  You can check out the new games you can now play on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S, below…

Additionally, 11 of the newly announced titles, including the FEAR games and Nier, will feature FPS boost support. 26 already backward compatible games, including Fallout: New Vegas, Dead Space 2 and 3, Alan Wake, and Sonic Generations are also getting the FPS boost treatment.

  The above-listed games are playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S as of today. Planning to jump into any old favorites?
