In November last year, Microsoft gave the Xbox One the ability to play Xbox 360 games. Ever since then, the list of compatible games has grown: When the feature first appeared, 104 Xbox 360 titles were on the list. At the time of writing, this has swelled to over 120, with more to be added at frequent intervals. You can vote on your favourites here, though how much this will be paid attention to by Microsoft is anyone’s guess, given the most popular titles – Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim and Call of Duty: Black Ops II – remain incompatible for now.
If you’re an Xbox Live Gold subscriber, Microsoft has already announced that all future ‘Xbox 360 Games with Gold’ (the free games given each month) will be compatible with Xbox One, so you’re doubling your freebies even if you long since sold your 360.
What Xbox 360 games are backwards compatible with Xbox One?
Here’s the full list of Xbox 360 games that work on the Xbox One. Keep checking back, and we’ll update this page as new games are added.
