Backwards compatibility update



When I received my new Xbox 360 and got rid off the Xbox I held onto a few games in the hope that I'd be able to play them on the new console. One of my favourite games was Sega's superb Jet Set Radio Future, but I was also a keen player of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Unfortunately, neither of these games were included in the backwards compatibility list at the time.

Almost a year and a half since the Xbox 360 hit the shops, Microsoft has finally got round to including these titles following an update to the console at the back end of last week.

The good news is, if you've got rid of your copies of the following games you should be able to pick them up for next to nothing.

Xbox 360 backwards compatible - Updated list

Breakdown

Jet Set Radio Future

Mercenaries

Panzer Dragoon Orta

Phantom Dust

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Unreal Championship 2

The bad news is - the update is not yet available in the UK, but will be shortly!
