Microsoft is keen to make its Xbox One Backward Compatibility (http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/26/xbox-one-gets-a-new-look-xbox-360-compatibility-on-november-12t/) as robust as possible. The feature, which lets users play Xbox 360 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/new-xbox-360-slim-250gb-review/) titles onMicrosoft's latest console (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/), continues to grow thanks to help from developers. A testament to this is a slew of new backwards-compatible games arriving today (http://news.xbox.com/2016/1/21/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-january/), including Soulcalibur, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (free until February 5th) and Counter-Strike: GO, plus a few others.
What's most interesting here, though, is that Microsoft says it will now start releasing titles as they become available, instead of setting a launch date for them every month (http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/26/xbox-one-gets-a-new-look-xbox-360-compatibility-on-november-12t/). That's a good move, if you ask us -- the sooner we can reminisce over old games, the better.
