We’ve listened closely to community feedback and respect the game libraries you’ve built throughout the last 18 years. That’s why we’re taking our work a step further and announced this week that thousands of games from all four generations will be playable on Project Scarlett. As such, we have now shifted our focus to help make the games you love playing on Xbox One compatible with future Xbox hardware. After this week, we have no plans to add additional Original Xbox or Xbox 360 titles to the catalog on Xbox One, but we’re excited to continue our work on Xbox compatibility across platforms and devices, which remains a top priority.

E3 2019: What’s Next for Xbox Backward Compatibility - Xbox Wire

Since the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program was announced at E3 2015, over half of all Xbox gamers have enjoyed Original Xbox or Xbox 360 games on Xbox One. During that time, the Backward Compatibility catalog we built directly from fan feedback has grown to over 600 titles including...

[HUELEN10]

The dream is over.

 

[shark sandwich]

Oh dude can I play Kameo 4K??? Haven’t played that game since 2005, that’s gonna be a trip!!

 

[jshackles]

End of an era

 

[Riven326]

See, that's the problem. You have to rely on Microsoft. The best solution is to buy or build a gaming pc.

 

[Kagey K]

That was exciting and depressing at the same time.

 

[kingwingin]

Did they say too human would be free?

 

[Mista]

Did they say too human would be free?

Yes its free

 

[Crew 511A]

I was really hoping we'd see Out Run 2. Maybe the car licenses were just too much.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Cool last batch, even if it was pretty hard to control, I am so happy for kameo, it was beautiful.
Pocket fighters finally ( but it’s the end of my darkstalkers collection dream)
Too human is a good surprise.
Edit : asura’s wrath !!!

It’s sad it’s over but if everything works day one on Scarlett, I am happy.
Good work from the guys.
Thank you!

 

[JORMBO]

I am noticing a lack of Nier on that list

 

[Lukin1978]

I still haven't played too human picked it up for dirt cheap years ago. Suprising it's backward compatible.

 

[RSB]

No Nier, no JSRF, no Burnout 3...

I really hope they continue the BC program on Scarlett.

 

[cryogenic7]

A shame they didn't include Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.

 

[intbal]

I suspect there will soon be a run on used original Xbox consoles. Prices will shoot up.
There are still a lot of games that you can't play anywhere else.

 

[YoshiMax]

And lo the JSRF dream was dead and no RezHD is a disgrace.. No afterburner Climax, no Outrun. Fuck sake.

 

[T-Cake]

I've got a funny feeling they've stopped doing it on Xbox One because they're now working on a solution which means every single Xbox game ever created will play on Scarlett. They could have engineered the APU with this in mind.

They keep saying "thousands" of games will be playable on Scarlett yet there are only tens of XBox originals and hundreds of Xbox 360.

 

[Pantz]

Guessing they needed to pull the team to concentrate on getting everything that's already done working on Scarlett. Hope they will restart the program once they get all that locked in.

Until then....back to eBay.

 

[urmie]

All 4 Splinter Cells! Yes!

All BC games now will be available on Scarlett as well. Not sure how this is a bad thing. 4 generations of games in one.

 

[TheShadowLord]

But I still haven't got mortal kombat shaolin monks and saints row 1!

 

[splattered]

They announced they're working on making all generations playable on scarlett. What we didnt get from the program this gen may automatically be included next consoles moving forward.

I wouldn't be surprised they drop surprise BC batches at events and stuff through holiday 2020.

 

[shark sandwich]

Is this update out now?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Shame its ending. They could go on for awhile. I wish they could just flip a switch and let any disc game work. I'm sure the emulator is up to snuff now.

 

[Spukc]

X1X Enhanced:

• Banjo-Kazooie
• Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
• Banjo-Tooie
• Kameo Elements of Power
• Perfect Dark
• Perfect Dark Zero
• Viva Piñata
• Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise

this should be announced on E3 in a separate show
fucking endgame shit this,

i might buy 3 more xbox one x'ses to be just sure i can play banjo in 4k

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

I’ll be picking up Enslaved Odyssey to the West.

 

[intbal]

I feel really dumb for buying Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts Evolution.

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

i might buy 3 more xbox one x'ses to be just sure i can play banjo in 4k

You don’t need too. Everything will work on Scarlet as well.

 

[Spukc]

available today

if you don't own an X get one today dear lord

 

[urmie]

[gupho70]

No Nier, no JSRF, no Burnout 3...

I really hope they continue the BC program on Scarlett.

I'm thinkling they will, just have to wait and see!

 

[T-Cake]

Some games that are missing might need extra grunt from the CPU to work. Scarlett could provide that with the Zen 2 CPU.

 

[Dural]

I can't believe we're not getting Mechassault.

 

[TheAdmiester]

It's a shame to see this end, but it's insane how much work they've put into it so far and it's nothing short of amazing. Far and away one of the best features/commitments of this gen.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Great work, but I'll still need a 360 around for stuff like Outrun or NCAA Football. Some original Xbox games BC on the 360 didn't make it to the xb1 either.

Hope BC stays an important thing for them and everything works going forward rather than selective stuff.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Always wanted to play Asura's Wrath

 

[David Lo-Pan]

It's an absolute crime that both Otogi games never received backwards compatibility.

 

[Xenon]

Toooooooo mooooooottttttthhhhhheeeeerrttrrr ffffffffffffuuuuuuuyccccckkkkkkkkkiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggggg Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Hell Yeah!


Hey enchanted Arms is nice light strategy RPG. People should check it out

 

[Pantz]

"we look forward to our next chapter with Project Scarlett."

Could mean more to come next-gen or could mean they are simply moving on to focus on next-gen...

 

[Xenon]

I thought I read that project Scarlett's going to have 100% backward compatibility with all the old games

 

[ExpandKong]

Asura’s Wrath

Sweet finally now I can throw my 360 in the ol’ garbage dumpster

 

[Bakkus]

I thought I read that project Scarlett's going to have 100% backward compatibility with all the old games

Even if that's true, it doesn't mean every game is gonna run on acceptable level.

 

[ExpandKong]

Even if that's true, it doesn't mean every game is gonna run on acceptable level.

Have there been problems with any of the games they’ve done for XBOne? I haven’t really kept up but it seems like they’ve been taking BC fairly seriously.

 

[Xenon]

Even if that's true, it doesn't mean every game is gonna run on acceptable level.

Considering the Xbox One OG ran everything better I think we'll be good

 

[Iced Arcade]

7 splinter cell games (double agent og Xbox and 360 are different) might be my favorite thing this E3

 

[Klayzer]

I'm thankful for Microsoft introducing bc this gen. Ninja Gaiden 2 being the absolute pinnacle for me. Not enough credit is given to Microsoft for eating that cost for its fanbase. Props

 

[ethomaz]

What that means exactly?

No BC titles will be added to Xbox One’s family or just Xbox One? Why Xbox One (or family) is left behind even before the gen ends?

 

[Night.Ninja]

What that means exactly?

No BC titles will be added to Xbox One’s family or just Xbox One? Why Xbox One (or family) is left behind even before the gen ends?

What?

 

[quickwhips]

Fuck yes too human!

 

[intbal]

Have there been problems with any of the games they’ve done for XBOne? I haven’t really kept up but it seems like they’ve been taking BC fairly seriously.

Perfect Dark Zero ran worse on both Xbox One and Xbox One S than it did on 360. They never issued a fix for that. I don't feel like downloading it again to see if they changed anything, but I strongly suspect it's only the X version that got any additions.

 

[Xenon]

Damn it looks soooooo good.
