Xbox One's Backwards Compatibility List Grows By Three Today
Fans of action/RPGs, fighting games, and indie darlings can fire up their Xbox Ones and enjoy some old favorites today. Bound by Flame, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, and The Maw are now backwards compatible.
The news was announced in a tweet from Xbox's Larry Hryb (a.k.a. Major Nelson). They aren't exactly high-profile titles that will engage your fondest nostalgia, but not every addition to the backwards compatibility list can be a top-shelf blockbuster. These are still solid, and the fact that Microsoft remains committed to supporting this feature is a good sign.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
