First 100 backwards-compatible xbox one games to be announced next week

**mushroomz** · 11-03-2015

Microsoft is preparing to announce the first 100 Xbox 360 games playable on the Xbox One on November 9.

The company's Xbox chief Phil Spencer made the announcement on Twitter, bringing an end to months of waiting just in time for any Xbox 360 owners wondering whether or not to pick up an Xbox One for Christmas to be swayed.

Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature was one of the biggest surprises to come out of E3—so naturally, when we finally got back to the office after the show, we tested it out straight away. We've also managed to find out heaps of new info about what the feature will allow, including being able to play older titles online with gamers who own an Xbox 360, and how Achievements will function.

Over 100 Xbox 360 and XBLA games will become available to all Xbox One owners, for free when the feature launches. To get a heads up on some of them ahead of next week's announcement, check out our list of backward compatible Xbox Games.
