Microsoft recently announced that the Xbox One will be getting backwards compatibility during the holidays. If you're an Xbox Preview Member you can start testing the backwards functionality today, but don't go buck-wild on the feature yet — not every Xbox 360 game will be available for compatibility right off the bat.
The list of compatible game will be updated and grow in number, but currently there are 21 available games… If you trust an image with some spelling errors.
An image with a list of available game for backwards compatibility has emerged, but not without errors. There's a spelling error in "compatibility," they spell it as campatability, and Banjo Kazooie was written as Banjo Lazooie. However, judging by the site address and other details it seems legitimate.
File under: Rumor.
