Update 8.28.2018 - Added Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Announced at E3 2015 and first introduced to Xbox One consoles in November that same year. The Xbox One Backward Compatibility program enables the console to play some Original Xbox and Xbox 360 games on their Xbox One. Since the program’s inception, there have been over 250 additions bringing the current total of backward compatible games to over 500. As of August 7th, 2018 there are 535 Xbox and Xbox 360 games playable on the Xbox One console.
This new program also comes with the added benefit of enabling the advanced features found on the Xbox One like Game DVR, Screenshots, and Windows 10 streaming. In addition to those, game saves stored on the cloud are now cross-platform and you can play Xbox 360 multiplayer games with your friends no matter which console they’re on. The best part about this program is that it comes at no extra cost to you. All you need to play your Xbox or Xbox 360 game on Xbox One is the physical disc or the digital equivalent on your account. If you own the physical disc this will need to be inserted into the Xbox One console any time you wish to play that game.
