| Xbox One's new Backward Compatibility titles |
MICROSOFT have announced that Xbox One fans will get access to Backward Compatibility in November with 100 Xbox 360 titles and Games with Gold bonuses.
First revealed for the new-gen console at E3 2015, Backward Compatibility has proved a popular feature with fans, who have cast over three million total votes on Xbox Feedback for the Xbox 360 titles they’d like to play.
Other stats connected to its popularity include Xbox One preview members logging more than 83 years playing Xbox 360 backward-compatible titles on Xbox One.
Microsoft have also confirmed that the Xbox One, the only current next-generation console to offer backward compatibility for free, will get the new feature November.
There will be more than 100 Xbox 360 titles and hundreds more to follow, according to the tech giant.
Anoter big boost for fans will be the fact that all future Xbox 360 Games with Gold titles will be playable on Xbox One, meaning Xbox Live Gold members will have more free games to play each month on Xbox One.
The feature is currently available to to Xbox Preview Program members, but is set for launch to everyone in November.
There are currently around 23 titles listed on Xbox's website ready for release and will hopefully see a number of high-voted for titles, such as Black Ops 2 and Skyrim, added ahead of its winter launch.
An Xbox guide on Backward Compatibility explains: "The digital titles that you own and are part of the Back Compat game catalog will automatically show up in the “Ready to Install” section on your Xbox One.
"For disc-based games that are a part of the Back Compat game catalog, simply insert the disc and the console will begin downloading the game to your hard drive. After the game has finished downloading, you will still need to keep the game disc in the drive to play."
