While Microsoft has yet to officially announce which titles have been approved for backwards compatibility, it appears that a list of the initial batch of games has made it’s way onto the internet.
While there are some pretty popular titles on the list such as Assassin’s Creed, Bioshock, Borderlands, Dark Souls, Far Cry, The Witcher 2 and most of the Tom Clancy games. There are noticeably no Call of Duty games or any of the Rockstar games. Hopefully those ultra popular titles will be added in the subsequent waves following the original launch.
