Xbox One with backward compatibility features has been praised since its start. Just yesterday, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 HD versions joined the backwards compatibility roster. You can now play the games on your Xbox One.
Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 HD versions launched on Xbox 360 back in 2011. Those of you who own the games already on disc or digital copy can now play them on Xbox One. If you do not own the copy, you can simply go to the Microsoft Xbox games store and make the purchase for $19.99.
The HD versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 came bundled with Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. This means the HD version of part 2 will get you an extra 500 stand-alone missions and Boss Survival. The HD version of part 3 had a third-person camera mode.
This recent addition of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 leaves two more MGS games that can not be played on Xbox One or Xbox 360. The original Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 4 are the only two games that have not been released on the Xbox platform. This is mainly due to the exclusive rights that are reserved for PlayStation consoles. You will still need a PlayStation 3 to play MGS and MGS 4.
The backwards compatible feature was launched on November 12, 2015, for the Xbox One console. Microsoft had to come up with a plan to compete against its counterpart console PlayStation 4. Since the launch of PS4, Xbox One has been overshadowed by PlayStation 4. This was mainly due to a lack of exclusives on Xbox One and a few little features.
Microsoft, in an attempt to gain traction in the consumer electronics market, released a backward-compatible feature. It now covers more than 1000 games that support the backward compatibility feature.
