Microsoft has introduced a new batch of Xbox One backward compatible games and is set to pilot a new way to launch future titles.Microsoft, which kicked off Xbox One backward compatibility in November last year, states that it has “been extremely happy with the response and engagement”.
According to Microsoft, Xbox gamers around the world have thus far logged more than 21 million hours playing Xbox One backward compatible games.
“Based on your feedback, the Xbox engineering team will start to pilot a new way to launch Xbox One backward compatibility titles,” an Xbox Wire post states. “Starting today, we’ll release titles as they become available, rather than a set monthly launch date.
“What this means for you is that you won’t have to wait to find out the latest titles; we’ll release whatever is available, when they’re available, once each title has received the engineering and publisher stamp of approval.”
Microsoft’s latest backward compatible titles comprise: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, Sam & Max Save the World, Aegis Wing, Counter-Strike: GO, Age of Booty, Space Giraffe, Soulcalibur, Skullgirls, Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad, and Small Arms.
Microsoft states that it is continuing to work with publishing partners to grow its library of Xbox One backward compatibility titles.
