<p>The <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a>&#8216;s backwards compatibility catalog grows again today. Microsoft&#8217;s Larry &quot;Major Nelson&quot; Hryb <a href="https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/768840533758316544">announced on Twitter</a> that the <a href="http://ift.tt/18k9JSv">Xbox 360</a> version of 1982 arcade classic <a href="http://ift.tt/2bD5lI1">Joust</a> has been added.</p>
<p>If you already owned Joust on Xbox 360, it should show up automatically in your Xbox One game library. You can also <a href="http://ift.tt/2bEguNk">buy it for $5</a>; it&#8217;s not a hard drive hog at all, weighing in at 18.2 MB.</p>
<p>For those unfamiliar, Joust is the arcade classic that sees you, as a lance-wielding knight, controlling a flying ostrich. You must defeat enemies who are also riding birds throughout waves of increasing difficulty. There is also two-player support, both locally and online.</p>
<p>Joust is the second addition to the Xbox One&#8217;s backwards compatibility catalog this week, <a href="http://ift.tt/2btcwFx">following Call of Duty 2</a> (<a href="http://ift.tt/2bjbKra">featuring an improved frame rate</a>) on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The Xbox One&#8217;s backwards compatibility feature <a href="http://ift.tt/1MD4YvZ">arrived in November 2015</a>. Since then, the response has been <a href="http://ift.tt/29dkbbH">&quot;overwhelming,&quot; </a>Microsoft recently said. Earlier this month, the company said users have collectively spent <a href="http://ift.tt/2aZpRSg">145 million hours</a> playing Xbox 360 games on Xbox One.</p>
<p>There are now more than 230 games in the Xbox One&#8217;s backwards compatibility lineup and you can <a href="http://ift.tt/1OzAESt">see them all here</a>. In other news about backwards compatibility, <a href="http://ift.tt/2bK6Ch7">Square Enix and Amazon have teamed up to offer a deal where you can get a free backwards compatibility game</a>.</p>
