Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Adds Two New Games

Backwards compatibility has been one of the best features that Microsoft has offered to Xbox players over the years, granting them to play past titles from yesteryear on the current generation of hardware. While they are likely going to continue this trend with the next generation of consoles, the Xbox One continues to grow its list of games that are indeed backwards compatible. That said, two more title have been added to the growing list, and there is a ton of action to go around with the latest additions.

Xbox Live director of programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb recently took to Twitter to share which older games will be given new life through the popular feature. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and Trials Evolution are now both playable on Xbox One via backwards compatibility. You can find out a bit more about each title below.
