Skate joins final wave of Xbox One backward compatible games
Today Xbox announced the final wave of backwards compatible games coming to Xbox One will include Skate, Unreal Tournament, and more.
While the future of Xbox is looking bright with Project Scarlett and the new titles that Microsoft showed off during Sunday’s Xbox E3 2019 conference, the company wanted to take things further, bringing a new list of backwards compatible games to the Xbox One. As the final batch of backwards compatible games hitting the Xbox One, they had to go big, and the updated list will now include several hit games like Skate, Unreal Tournament, and more.
The list of games is pretty hefty, including Skate, Unreal Tournament II, Unreal Tournament, as well as all of the Xbox Splinter Cell games. We’ve included the full list of all original Xbox games coming to Xbox One via backwards compatibility below:
- Armed and Dangerous
- Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb
- Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Double Agent
- Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict
We also have a ton of great Xbox 360 games making the jump to backwards compatibility as well, and we’ve included them here, too.
- Asura’s Wrath
- Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
- Enchanted Arms
- Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
- Far Cry Classic
- Far Cry Instincts Predator
- Infinite Undiscovery
- Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
- Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands
- Skate
- Star Ocean: The Last Hope
- Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
- Syndicate
- Too Human (will be absolutely free for whoever wants it)
- Unreal Tournament III
And that’s it. We won’t see anymore games making the jump to Xbox One via backwards compatibility.

It'd be nice if the list was linked.

If you have old copies of these games, is there a way to add them to your digital library?

Damn do they have Skate and Skate 3 but not Skate 2? That is the best one!

So the linked article isn't clear - when are these games being added? I assume soon but it's not stated.
Also the Too Human thing is interesting, seeing as how that game had quite the history - Silicon Knights delays it repeatedly and then after it comes out they sue Epic because they were dissatisfied with the state of the engine they licensed from them, claiming Epic was more interested in making their own games better than helping their licensees. Epic counter-sues, and wins, and then all unsold copies of the game have to be destroyed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Knights#Silicon_Knights_vs._Epic_Games
Upon hearing that a game was about to be obliterated from existence I went and bought a used copy from GameStop, going so far as to drive way the hell out to some other town to do so. I think I paid like $2.99 or something. It was the first Xbox 360 game I had ever purchased because I didn't own an Xbox 360. Amazing as it sounds I had skipped that generation and only owned a PS3 because of Blu-Ray playback.
Of course as near as I can tell no one took the "destroy all unsold copies" thing seriously as I would see it in stores for years to come (maybe preowned copies didn't count?). And I've never played it because until now it wasn't BC on the Xbox One.
So it will be neat to play it now and... be underwhelmed by a game that got mediocre to bad reviews.-
Still a cool little piece of gaming history.
