Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Now Backward Compatible On Xbox One
Some days we get three or four smaller games announced for backward compatibility. Others we get a neon-powered, cyborg-starring, giant dinosaur shooting game. Today is that day. The second one. Not the first one.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (our review) stars Michael Biehn as Rex “Power” Colt in the far flung future of 2007. There, he’ll have to face off against former ally Colonel Sloan, who is working to take over the world.
Set against an original soundtrack by Power Glove, this spinoff started as an April Fools Joke. When it launched in 2013, it was a deadly serious good time. You can revisit it today on Xbox One.

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.
