Microsoft has released the list of the first 104 games for Xbox One backwards compatible launch on Nov. 12, which includes "Gears of War Games" "Mass Effect," "Fallout 3," "Rainbow Six: Vegas," and the "Viva Pinata Titles," The Inquisitor reports.
Some players, however, expressed their dismay that the list lacked most of the AAA titles that they were anticipating, like the "Red Dead Redemption," "Halo Reach" and "Call of Duty: Black Ops II."
Microsoft responded, saying that there will be more releases to look out for. "Our launch of 104 titles on Nov. 12 is just the beginning. You can expect new Xbox One backward compatible games to be announced on a regular basis, starting in December. More titles are on the way, including fan favorites like 'Halo Reach,' 'Halo Wars,' 'Call of Duty: Black Ops,' 'BioShock,' 'BioShock 2,' 'BioShock Infinite' and 'Skate 3.' Stay tuned because this is just the beginning of a long list of Xbox 360 games that will run on Xbox One," said Larry Hryb, Xbox Live director of programming, according to Venture Beat.
For a game to be backwards compatible means that players will be allowed to play Xbox 360 games on their Xbox One consoles.
