Microsoft is further enlarging the growing list of Xbox 360 game titles that also run on the newer Xbox One console.
According to The Verge, the company has enabled multi-disc games to work with Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature. The list is starting with "Deux Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut."
The news comes after some gamers have expressed their concerns that it might not be possible for the Xbox One console to emulate its predecessor for games spanning multiple discs. But Game Informer is reporting that Larry Hryb, better known in the gaming community as Major Nelson, revealed on Reddit that engineers working on the Xbox One have managed to implement the feature that allows multi-disc backwards compatibility.
Hryb replied on Friday, May 13, in response to a gamer's post inquiring about the backwards compatibility feature. He stated that he can confirm the team "has done work to support multi disc scenarios." Some of the games that support the feature do not always run smoothly but for the most part this a great feature to add to Xbox One.
Since Microsoft has launched its latest console, Xbox One lack of backwards compatibility feature was one of the biggest setbacks. Up to date, gamers could not play on Xbox One titles requiring more than one disc on the Xbox 360.
Now, some of the Xbox 360's most iconic titles may soon be playable on the newest gaming console. According to Cinema Blend, a lot of Xbox One owners are excited about the possibility of playing Hironobu Sakaguchi's "Lost Odyssey" and "Blue Dragon" on the new console.
A lot of gamers are also looking forward to be able playing "Mass Effect 2" and "Mass Effect 3" on the Xbox One as backwards compatible titles, along with Team Bondi and Rockstar's "L.A. Noire." Additionally, many gamers would like to play Rockstar's "Max Payne 3" on the latest Microsoft console.
