Three More Games Added to Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Program

Three more games were added to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility program today, bringing the total number of Xbox 360 titles in the catalog to more than 250.

As announced by Microsoft Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, today's additions include Bound by Flame, The Maw, and Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown.

If you already own these titles on Xbox 360, they should show up automatically in your Xbox One game library. If not, you can buy them either on your console or by clicking the Xbox.com links below.

Xbox One Backwards Compatibility New Additions for September 15:

• Bound by Flame ($30; 3.24 GB)
• The Maw ($10; 147.4 MB)
• Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown ($5; 1.93 GB)

The Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature launched in November 2015 with the New Xbox One Experience update. Microsoft has added new titles on a regular basis since then--you can see all 250-plus games in the catalog here.

Since backwards compatibility launched, the response has been "overwhelming," Microsoft recently said. Users have collectively spent 145 million hours playing Xbox 360 games on Xbox One.

The new additions today come after Microsoft added eight titles to the program last week, including Bayonetta, de Blob 2, and Bejeweled 3.
