I know they've said it before but it sounds like this time truly is the end of B/C.

While Microsoft said two years ago it had “no plans to add additional original Xbox or Xbox 360 titles to the catalog,” the surprise addition of more than 70 games will be the final time we’ll 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,” explains Peggy Lo.

Microsoft’s Xbox backward compatibility program returns with 76 new games - The Verge

But now that 360 and Original xbox games are opened up to FPS boost the backwards compatibility team still has a whole lot they can get working on!

Halo Infinite multiplayer, which launched *looks at watch* about 2.5 hours ago, has already surpassed 162k peak concurrent users on Steam.

This makes it the most successful Xbox Game Studios title of all time on Steam

Halo MCC hit 161k PCCU
Forza Horizon 5 hit 81k PCCU. pic.twitter.com/lgMLNISeaw

Halo Infinite is free, Forza Horizon 5 is £50. So calling it the "most successful xbox game studios title of all time on steam" seems a bit weird lol.

Will be cool to see how high the player count rises though.

The free battle pass track is honestly garbage. You get basically nothing

Honestly I was getting smoked my first few matches but I'm getting the hang of it now. (I barely had a chance to play the beta btw)

The paid one sucks too. The progression is wayyyy too slow.

You guys installing Halo (or at least you're t rying to), I'm installing Max Payne 3.

I'm resting my eyes on 4k/60fps Gears of War 3 and it's just so frikkin' beautiful :')

I'd rather have an Ultimate Edition remaster of Gears 2 and 3 with a new achievement list but I guess it's still cool.

I haven't checked this thread since it was on page 100 something (now it's on page 971!). I was just checking to see if anyone was talking about the 70+ new backwards compatible Xbox games and the fps/resolution boost. It really should be a thread. It's a hell of an incentive and it makes me happy to be an Xbox gamer. I don't even have a Series X but as an owner of a One X an the other models of Xbox One, I'm pretty blown away. Can't wait to try the new features!

Yeah that was probably my favorite part of the announcement. I think that's the last big update @Ryuu96 can maybe confirm?

Still stuck at work for another hour and change before I can start my download and play.

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
