All the Xbox One Backwards Compatible Games Available Right Now

Perceived as an ace in the hole for Microsoft in its battle against Sony in the “console wars”, Xbox One’s backwards compatibility has slowly (ever so slowly) been bringing some of the greatest titles from the last generation into the next.

Compared to PlayStation’s seemingly doomed PlayStation Now service (or even EA Access, the EA service exclusive to Xbox One), there’s no fee involved with backwards compatibility, so many gamers have been trawling the likes of eBay to pick up some older gems. Remember when Red Dead Redemption was announced as the newest backwards compatible game, skyrocketing its retail price and demand? If there’s something gamers love above everything else, it’s nostalgia.

Luckily, if you don’t want to go out on the hunt for SEGA Bass Fishing or Age of Booty, there’s a chance you can buy them from the Xbox Store. Just go to the store on your Xbox One console and look for “Backwards Compatible Games” in the menus.

Thinking of dipping back into the past? Here all the game that are available through Xbox One backwards compatibility right now. More are added all the time, so once Xbox announce them, this will be updated.
