Microsoft announces Xbox One backwards compatibility

At its E3 2015 press conference, Microsoft has announced that select Xbox 360 titles will soon be playable on Xbox One, adding backwards compatibility to the new console.

This holiday, Xbox One will be the only console to support backward compatibility natively for select Xbox 360 games, for free, and all with Xbox One features including screenshots, broadcasting and GameDVR. More than 100 classic Xbox 360 games will be available at launch, with more to come.

While not all Xbox 360 titles will be available at launch, fans can submit what titles they’d like to see added via Xbox Feedback, and Xbox will work with game publishers to continue to release new titles regularly.

More to come from E3 2015, taking place this week in LA.
