Microsoft had previously put its Xbox backward compatibility program on hold. Fast forward two years later and it has returned for a final catalog update.

In celebration of 20 years of Xbox, Microsoft has added over 70 new games to the backward compatibility library.

As said by Xbox:

“This latest and final addition of 70+ titles to the backwards compatibility program was only possible through the passion and feedback from the community,” explains Peggy Lo, compatibility program lead at Xbox. “[Xbox fans’] constant requests for specific titles and enhancements encouraged the backwards compatibility team to partner with the original creators to preserve thousands of games from over four generations of Xbox.”

To sweeten the deal, FPS Boost is being enabled on 11 of the titles being added; this will double the original frame rate up to 60 frames per second.

Although Microsoft announced two years ago that it had “no plans to add additional original Xbox or Xbox 360 titles to the catalog,” the addition of 70+ new games will be the last time we will see new backward compatible games.

“While we continue to stay focused on preserving and enhancing the art form of games, we have reached the limit of our ability to bring new games to the catalog from the past due to licensing, legal and technical constraints.”

Check out the full list of the 76 new Xbox backward compatible games below.
