Yesterday we had a very exciting Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration Event. In just 30 minutes of streaming, Microsoft has managed to perfectly convey all the sensations obtained during these years to its fans, at a time when (with the total absence of the figure of Don Mattrick) the brand has revised its trajectory of solemnity. , but also proximity to the user. And therefore, it was also time to talk about backwards compatibility.
One of the most famous news of the Xbox One era was the arrival of backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360, where every week we happily received waves of titles that worked on the new generation of the time. But with the arrival of the Xbox Series X | S, that rhythm stopped completely, as it was time to work on making all Xbox One titles directly backward compatible in the new generation. However, there was a promise from Jason Ronald, who is responsible for the new machine: “We will come back to this work later.”
The latest backwards compatible
The surprise of receiving 76 new backward compatible titles coming from the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox was in all caps, but one important detail has also gone unnoticed: this bundle would be the last we will receive. There will simply be no more additions to the list of backward compatible titles, which is now closed.. This was said in the article by Xbox Wire
As we continue to focus on preserving and enhancing the artistic side of games, we have reached the limit of our ability to bring new games into the catalog of the past due to licensing, legal and technical issues.
The rationale is very clear, they kept looking for more possibilities, but there are many conditions that prevent working on more old titles and making them backward compatible. So we are left with that last batch, which is huge and on the other hand, delighted to see that FPS Boost can also be applied to Xbox 360 titles, opening up another range of possibilities to enjoy it again.
