Another update suggests the list of games might be longer than what was initially assumed by fans.
While this might not mean that every one of these will get FPS Boost or a resolution upgrade, it is also a possibility that Microsoft could be planning to improve their emulation or add new games to the backward compatibility lineup on the Xbox consoles.
Microsoft will host an event tomorrow on November 15 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Xbox console. One of the announcements that have been rumored for this event is the Halo Infinite Multiplayer launch, while others suggest that new backward compatible games are also due to be announced during this event.
This might not be limited to upgrades to existing games, as rumors are suggesting that new backward compatible games might be added as well. Some of the names being thrown around include the original Xbox releases of Max Payne, Red Dead Revolver, and more.
Backward compatibility begin with Microsoft releasing a curated list of games on the Xbox One allowing certain Xbox 360 titles to be playable, and they slowly started to expand it adding Xbox games as well. It was then later updated with a 4K resolution boost for some specific games and then upgraded again with the addition of FPS Boost on Xbox Series.
