Backwards Compatible Xbox 360 games: The list so far

Here is every 360 game that is backwards compatible with the Xbox One so far.

Don't forget that many of the games are coming free as bonuses with new Xbox One games as well.  Also the Games with Gold titles that come free to Xbox Live Gold members work with the backwards compatibility so you'll have twice as many games to download each month.

No doubt this list will increase in 2016

Thanks for the update mate.

Thanks for this. Have some rep! I've been looking for a resource such as this but to no avail.

Perhaps we could "Sticky" this article Mr. Hammer for easy reference. I would do it but I don't seem to have stickying powers any more. Must have been demoted!

That is a very impressive list, wish Sony would do something similar instead of making everyone pay extra for a streaming service with an unimpressive list. Grumble grumbles over,

Here are 4 more games backwards compatible

LEGO Batman
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space
Trials HD
Alan Wake's American Nightmare

Should all be playing now, Sam & Max is my recommendation

Another 360 game has appeared on my "ready to install" list today that I don't remember seeing mentioned elsewhere. That game is Galaga. Has another batch been released quietly?

Just that one.

MajorNelson said they aren't releasing batches any more, they're just releasing individual games as and when they are ready, which is probably why you just saw that one game appear!

Geometry Wars Evolved is now playable on Xbox One via Backward Compatibility

Stupid question, I have some of them but they don't show in my available to download list. I assume I need to put the game in?

Yeah if you own them on disc then you need to have the disc in the tray otherwise they will appear in the ready to install section

Maybe you have to make sure the save file is on the cloud on your 360 version.

None will show that are just stored locally I think

rep to both of you, thank you.

Kent I think all my 360 saves are on the cloud due to a lot of people learning the hard way I took to backing everything there all the time

Carcassonne now added

3 more titles have been added this week ....

Alan Wake
Castlevania Symphony Of The Night
Pac-Man

Edit - 24/3/16 ...... a few more additions

Dark Souls
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Assassin's Creed
Dark Void
Grid 2

Edit - 28/3/16 ...... seems like the floodgates have finally opened!

Halo Wars
King Of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match
Soul Calibur II HD

Edit - 29/3/16 ...... and another.

Left 4 Dead 2

2 more have been added to backwards compatibility today

Outland
Gunstar Heroes

Doom 3 BFG edition and Monaco: Whats yours is mine are now backwards compatible

I'm still waiting for Mass Effect 2 and 3 to be backwards compatible so I can go through all the games again one after the other.

I read somewhere I'm sure that they can't do backwards compatible on games that had multiple discs. That's why a lot of these are digital titles as well as retail. Doom 3 is the first game I think which doesn't have a digital version but you can play via the disc, so I wouldn't hold your breath for Mass effect 2 and 3

Rayman Origins has been added to the list

A few more games have made their way to the backwards compatibility list. I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of being able to play Altered Beast on my Xbox One!!!!

Altered Beast
Comix Zone
Double Dragon Neon
Ghostbusters Sanctum Of Slime
The Cave

EDIT 28/4/16
Two more for you

Frogger
Galaga Legions DX

Edit 7/5/16 (A little late!)

Dig Dug
Phantasy Star II
Runner2
Samurai Shodown 2
Sonic and Knuckles
Star Wars The Force Unleashed
Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2
