Xbox One backwards compatibility program has witnessed a huge milestone yesterday as Microsoft released three brand-new Xbox 360 games which you can now enjoy on your Xbox One.
As per the new announcement made by Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb,
the newly added games are Halo Wars, SoulCalibur II and The King of Fighters ’98.
Out of these, Halo Wars was confirmed for backwards compatibility earlier while the other two are fresh arrivals in the Xbox One backward compatibilty scene. Since, Xbox One has a dedicated Xbox 360 backwards compatibility store now. You can easily search, find and download these games at your will.
This is the third time in the past two weeks when Microsoft has added new titles to the program. Last week, the tech giant launched Assassin’s Creed and Dark Void, and Dark Souls and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 in two separate releases.
There is no particular schedule for when new games will be added in the list. Microsoft has announced that the games will be added as soon as they are ready, not on any kind of schedule.
Other new Xbox One Backward-Compatible games are:
- Assassin’s Creed

In case, your favorite game hasn’t made it into the list, you don’t need to worry. There is still a possibilty that it might make it to the list. Microsoft has announced that it is in the middle of discussions with all major publishers and developers to bring their games under the program.
However, the decision about whether or not to include games under the program solely depends on the publishers.
Stay tuned for more updates.
