Xbox One Backward Compatibility: THREE new Xbox 360 games added to Microsoft library

Red Dead Redemption’s addition to the Xbox One Backwards Compatible library is without question the stand out game added recently to Microsoft’s Xbox One collection. Following that massive announcement by Microsoft, three more games have been added to the ever growing list of backwards compatible titles available to play on the Xbox One.

Unfortunetly these three games don’t include Skate 3, Bioshock 1 & 2 or Bioshock Infinite.

All four games had been prevously promised to come to the Xbox One ever since they were added to a list of games which were supposedly being “processed” as of a few months ago.

Instead, Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb announced via the Microsoft Director of Programming’s Twitter feed that Tour de France 2009, Half Minute Hero and FLOCK! were joining the list of Xbox 360 classics available to play on the Xbox One console.

The addition of these new titles brings the number of Backwards Compatible games on the Xbox One up to an impressive 213.

Here’s a quick official description of each game, should you want a bit more info on each new title joining the service.
