[maniacal laughter]
Xbox One backwards compatibility list is getting enormous every month. Now, there are more than 320 games on the list and Microsoft promises that hundreds of games are still on the way.
As a restless gamer, I always say and will always say that every platform has its own advantages and every company has its own tactics to win the community. But, when it comes to free games and compatibility lists, Xbox One shines out.
Before jumping into the case, Xbox One Gold members now can have these games for free:
Xbox One
- Layers of Fear (March 1-31)
- Evolve (March 16 – April 15)
- Project Cars (February 16-March 15)
Xbox 360
- Borderlands 2 (March 1-15)
- Heavy Weapon (March 16-31)
With March update, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Dead Rising 2: Case West, Meet the Robinsons, and Cars 2 joined to the backwards compatibility party.
Here is the full list of Xbox One backwards compatibility games. You will notice that bolded ones are newly added.
