Microsoft is again bringing the hype on the “Xbox One backwards compatibility” feature after it brought in a new title this week. According to reports, the latest title to arrive on the is Interpol, is a puzzle strategy game exclusively developed by TikGames for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows platform.
Currently, the Interpol is ranked number 216th in the “Xbox One backwards compatibility” list. Despite this new update on the backwards-compatible feature, it’s surprising how Microsoft released only one title while it previously enjoyed releasing at least three “Xbox One backwards compatibility” titles in the past.
This subtly contradict previous predictions that the next games to arrive on the Xbox One backwards compatibility feature will be Bioshock 1, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite and Skate 3. Last week, Microsoft released one of the most voted game for the backwards compatibility feature which is the “Red Dead Redemption.” The arrival of RDR on the feature created to much excitement that few days after, rumors about a Red Dead Redemption sequel emerged online.
The “Xbox One backwards compatibility” feature is such a big hit that Microsoft recently capitalized on its ability to promote the sale of the Xbox One console. Now, fans wait day in and day out for the next title on the said feature.
According to the Neowin, currently the Xbox One backwards compatibility library contains over 210 titles. while it was recently reported that at least 100 games from the feature were shelved already, Microsoft said that they were indie games that didn’t quite push the barrier enough to make it to the world of triple A games.
