Xbox Adds More Than 70 New Backward-Compatible Games

By Rollin Bishop

As part of its 20th-anniversary event today, Xbox announced that over 70 new Xbox 360 and original Xbox games have been added to the backward compatibility library for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Additionally, 11 of those new titles have FPS Boost enabled with 26 from the existing library getting FPS Boost as well. All of them support Auto HDR and several will see a significant resolution increase. While this is very exciting news, there is also a catch: it's the last batch being added to the backward compatibility library.

"While we continue to stay focused on preserving and enhancing the art form of games, we have reached the limit of our ability to bring new games to the catalog from the past due to licensing, legal and technical constraints," states Peggy Lo, Compatibility Program Lead, Xbox, in the Xbox Wire post announcing the new and final additions. "Thank you for being part of this journey with us."
