Microsoft has officially revealed the first 104 Xbox 360 games that you will be able to play on your Xbox One. As luck would have it, more than half of them are from Xbox Live Arcade, which of course we are big fans of. Most of these games are absolutely worth your time to go back to. Some definite highlights of the list are Shadow Complex, Super Meat Boy, Ms. Splosion Man, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and Toy Soldiers, to name a few. If your favorite game didn’t make the cut, you can make your case to Microsoft on their feedback page.
Microsoft is quick to remind us that there are many more games on the way, and that every Xbox 360 game provided with Games With Gold going forward will be playable on Xbox One. That doubles our monthly free games from 2 to 4. Thanks, Phil!
