Everyone laughed at Microsoft when they rolled out their Xbox One backwards compatibility last year. Why? For starters, their list of Xbox 360 games only contains around a dozen or two and those titles were nowhere triple-A. Second, most people would just prefer going forward with modern games, anyway, the Xbox 360 is still there to play the previous gen disks.
Eventually, Microsoft added sixteen more Xbox 360 games compatible with Xbox One in Dec. 2015 which includes popular games such as Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Halo: Reach. A month later, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive were also added to the delight of fans. From then on, it seems that new games were added every month for Xbox One.
