Microsoft announces new set of Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles

Since the launch of Xbox One Backward Compatibility feature, millions of Xbox gamers around the world have already logged more than 21 million hours playing Xbox One Backward Compatibility games. Microsoft today announced that they will release titles as they become available, rather than a set monthly launch date.

A game we’re really excited about is CD Projekt RED’s critically acclaimed title, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Players assume the identity of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer, or witcher, as he becomes entangled within the political turmoil that has engulfed Temeria while hunting down a treacherous assassin. Featuring an intense and emotionally charged, non-linear story and using your skills with the sword and magical abilities, experience the complex and expansive adventure that leads up to the events of 2015’s award winning The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. And that’s not all. Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners in select regions** can download the title for free on Xbox.com anytime between now and February 5.

Here is the list of new Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles available today:

• The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
• Sam & Max Save the World
• Aegis Wing
• Counter-Strike: GO
