The number of games that are compatible with Xbox One from the Xbox 360 library is pretty impressive thus far, coming in at just under 400 – and now two more titles have joined the fray.

Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb confirmed that the games have been added as of today, and you've got a lot to look forward to if you're a fan of bug-blasting, or want to do some Formula One racing.

First up is Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, one of the entries in the classic sci-fi series. In it, you choose from a number of soldiers that does battle with gigantic bugs, spiders and aliens as you attempt to save the world from invasion. The digital version of the game sells for $19.99, and is sized at about 4.57GB. It's definitely recommended if you're looking for an over-the-top action game. And you can play in split-screen co-op as well!

Then there F1 2014, one of Codemasters' much-beloved simulation racing games. Released a few years back for Xbox 360, the game features a number of authentic Formula One cars and tracks, as well as online racing options and plenty of simulation tools to play around with. It currently goes for $24.99 in the Xbox Live Marketplace, and is sized around 3.79GB.

More games could be added later this week, as we've seen that happen below. But, so far, it's a pretty good week for backward compatibility.
