During its Inside Xbox event during E3 2019, Xbox announced that the Backwards Compatibility program on Xbox One has concluded. This is because the studio now wants to work on making the games compatible on the next generation of Xbox which was also announced during the E3 called Project Scarlett.
All previous games added to Xbox One and Xbox One X in this program will remain available on the platform however no future titles will arrive on the current-gen console. Most of the titles that came to the program were selected after fan feedback and they included titles from some of the best franchises that came out on the original Xbox and Xbox 360. At this point, more than 600 titles are available with Backwards Compatibility on Xbox One range of consoles.
During the same event, Xbox announced that with the focus now shifting on Project Scarlett, the next-generation console will support games from all four generations of Xbox. This is the very reason why Microsoft is shifting its focus on making games compatible with Project Scarlett instead of Xbox One now. However, with the parting announcement, Xbox also announced a final batch of games coming to Xbox One with this program after which no more games will arrive on Xbox One.
The final batch of games include some original Xbox Classics, some original Xbox DLC packs Xbox 360 fan-favorites and Xbox One X Enhanced Updates as well. We have detailed all of them below.
