The big megaton that Microsoft dropped at E3 two months ago was the addition of backwards compatibility later in the year, which is already available in a limited way through the Xbox One Preview Program. We got a list of games shown that it looked like would be coming and now we have even more.
During Microsoft’s Gamescom conference yesterday, we got the announcement of multiple publishers that are giving support towards backwards compatibility on Xbox One. Those included the likes of companies like EA, Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, 2K, and multiple others.
During that same presentation, another large image of games advertising the Xbox One’s ability to play backwards compatible games popped up and thanks to a user on NeoGAF, we have a list of most games that are visible.
According to the the user Basketball on there, the following were shown in the image during the Xbox One presentation.

There were also two other mystery ones that could not be made out on the bottom right, along with even more that aren’t visible. With those two included, that puts the total at 49, including games that are already announced. Some of these could always end up not making it on the list, but it would be assumed that their presence here confirms they are coming at some point, hopefully by launch.
With a bunch of publishers already announced and a list this strong, we are really going to be in for a treat when backwards compatibility launches later this year for Xbox One.
