Backwards compatibility on Xbox One is set to launch this November; at launch, it will have 100 Xbox 360 games available to play on the Xbox One. It looks like if you still own the Xbox 360 version you’ll be able to play it on the Xbox One soon.

Launching in November, Xbox One’s Backward Compatibility will feature a number of games which now includes Borderlands. Now Xbox One plans on giving well-deserved praise to the original game with Backward Compatibility.

Microsoft is pushing Xbox One Backward Compatibility for the Xbox One in a pretty big way. Let us know your thoughts below. Users who pre-order Fallout 4 get a digital copy of Fallout: New Vegas too.

A fan asked the Deus Ex team on Twitter if they were considering making Human Revolution a backwards compatible title. The Xbox 360 had pretty limited support for original Xbox games. While we await a second wave of games to be announced, Square Enix seems to think that it will be one of the companies to benefit thanks to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Human Revolution now has 12,032 votes, compared with the current top games Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 (95,386) Red Dead Redemption (89,225) and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (85,102). I’m sure some of these will be Xbox 360 arcade games.
