Microsoft has been teasing the reveal of the Xbox One's first 100 backwards compatible games since they first announced the feature during E3 this year. Well folks, we finally know what the first backwards compatible games are and not to be picky, but there are a few games that aren't on the list that I would have loved to see on the list — like Red Dead Redemption or any other Rockstar game.
Instead of simply revealing 100 games, Microsoft went above and beyond to include 104 games. In the announcement, Microsoft made it clear that Halo Reach, Halo Wars, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, and Bioshock Infinite are on the way.
You can catch the list below and get a how-to on the feature here:
