Last week, Microsoft revealed backwards compatibility for XCOM: Enemy Within, Monopoly Plus, and SEGA Bass Fishing. The games just keep on coming and there’s no set schedule to when they are released just whenever the port is completed. Overall, there are over 200 games in the backwards compatibility library.
Some upcoming games that haven’t been released include Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite and Skate 3. Fans have the ability to vote which game they would like to see return and many, more than 140,000 to be exact, say they want Call of Duty: Black Ops II, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption. While no word as to the status of these, at E3 2016 Skyrim: Special Edition was announced for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
