Five More Xbox One Backwards Compatible Games Now Available

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and more are now playable on Xbox One.

42 Comments

The slow period for new additions to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility library that began in May has extended throughout most of June. But that changes today, with Microsoft announcing that five more Xbox 360 games are now playable on Xbox One.

The biggest name of the bunch is Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the third and arguably best game in the series. It joins five other Assassin's Creed titles that were already available on the backwards compatibility list.

No Caption Provided

Rounding out today's additions are Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, Radiant Silvergun, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, and Cyber Troopers Virtual-On OT. If you already own any of these or Brotherhood, you can find them in your Xbox One's Ready to Download list. Alternatively, you can pop in the disc for Brotherhood or head to the Xbox Store to pick up any of these games digitally.

These are the first additions in just over a month, when Assassin's Creed III headlined a list of five additions. You can go here to see a complete list of every Xbox One backwards compatible game.

Although June has been quiet for backwards compatibility, we did learn that support for original Xbox games is on the way. Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy are the only confirmed games so far, and Microsoft says it's too soon to say just how extensive its Xbox library will be.

Alas, the entire Desmond saga is now playable on Xbox One. How about Skyrim next? I'm not gonna pay up to $60 for the Special Ed. when I've already invested about 90 into the X360 version.

@truth0101: Good one! However, I wish that Pepperidge Farm would also remember how to make the yellow cake with the chocolate icing like they used to...

@blue-peregrine: Same. If just a few more titles make it onto BC I might ditch my 360 for good (I hardly touch it anymore).

Radiant Silvergun is an amazing game for its genre; it's almost as good as Ikaruga.

I enjoyed Commando 3, but now that I think about it, I never finished it. Will definitely do so now.

@7tizz@Pyrosa: no. the Music in the game is all original for the game itself just like tekken and soul calibur. even the DLC music is all original.

just a quick heads up cuz ebay and other online stores are listing Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy as being playable on the xbox one THEY ARE NOT. Microsoft are not rolling out the update for MONTHS. Fair enough if you wish to buy them now ready for them to be playable or if you have a compatible xbox 360 or the original xbox console then go ahead but dont waste your time ordering the games currently if you want to play them right now cuz THEY DO NOT WORK.

@proxima1025: I've already purchased Crackdown and Mercenaries 2 in the hopes that they'll both be made BC. They were both only £1 here in the UK, so I figured why not. When BO2 got made BC it more than doubled in price, so I'm getting in early. I was hoping Crackdown would be made BC about now, fill in the gap until 3 comes out!

@nibbin1191: You need better taste, there is a good game on that list (Radiant Silvergun). I'd rather have MGS, but that's just me.

Half expect a "what's a Radiant Silvergun...a FPS"??? **shakes head**

@nibbin1191: Splinter Cell Blacklist is a superb game, but any list that includes AC Brotherhood really can't be referred to as a "pile of wank".

You can say "oh, it's AC Brotherhood and a pile of wank". That would be ok.

Awesome! Now every version of AC is playable on XB1 (with both versions of II, Brotherhood, and Revelations, including all multiplayer)! Now all that's missing is AC: Liberation HD. Add that, and my entire AC catalog will be complete :D

@HOLYSHMUCK: Only one I never played was Rogue. Think I'll try that on BC.

Restarted AC III a week or so ago, and I'm really enjoying it.
