Microsoft dropped a bomb on the gaming industry earlier this year at E3, when it announced that Xbox 360 games would be backwards compatible (playable) on the Xbox One. In response, Sony could pretty much only reply, "The technology involved must be very challenging."
As Nathan reported earlier, Microsoft released the full list of Xbox 360 games that will be backwards compatible on your Xbox One, starting November 12. Xbox One Backward Compatibility launches hand in hand with the New Xbox One Experience rolling out the same day.
We're guessing that GameStop is going to enjoy a small spike in used 360 game sales. Also, that Twitch (etc.) will also spike in streaming and viewership of a few last-generation classics.
Here is the full list of 104 games coming this Thursday. And we've linked the ones we've reviewed (the ones in that lovely shade of orange).
