RELATED: Canceled Xbox One Games You Forgot Existed Eventually, the other two platforms caught up, for some relatively good sales numbers overall in their respective generations. It wasn’t all green for Microsoft though, as the Red Ring of Death incident did cost them a great deal.

Launching ahead of the Wii and PS3 by a year likely did a lot to help this.

That alone has completely justified the weeks of frustration I endured chasing down an Xbox Series X restock.The Xbox 360 completely dominated its generation of consoles. Now I just switch on my Xbox Series X and I can be playing some of my favorite games of the past two decades with boosted framerates and quicker loading times. Previously when I wanted to blast the limbs off Necromorphs or shred my favorite skating spots in New San Vanelona I had to reach into the darkest depths of my closet and dust off my rapidly deteriorating PS3. Especially when your biggest competition doesn’t offer anything even close. It’s not done this by providing a load of additional streaming and media applications, which in fairness the console does offer, but by enabling users to play games from across four generations of Xbox on a single machine. They were referring to the console being designed as an entertainment hub, but to me, the Xbox Series X has achieved the real “all in one” console dream (Image credit: Alex Van Aken | Shutterstock)ĭuring the disastrous announcement showcase of the Xbox One way back in 2013, Microsoft pitched the console as in the “all in one Xbox” (hence the name).

This stands in stark contrast to Sony who’s made zero backward compatibility efforts with the PS4 and made little more than the minimum amount with the PS5. Microsoft deserves huge credit for not only enabling previous-gen games to be playable on the Xbox Series X (and the Xbox One family of consoles) but also actively working to make them play better than ever on its newest machine.
Among the games boosted this week is beloved 2008 RPG Fallout 3 which definitely needed a framerate increased as on 360 it was prone to chugging even at 30 fps. Plus, during the aforementioned Xbox Anniversary stream, another couple of dozen were added to the list. Unfortunately, the whole roster of nearly 700 games hasn’t been boosted but a solid handful has been. The first time I booted up Skate 3 and cruised around Port Carverton in glorious 60 fps I felt like my entire $499 outlay had been justified. Xbox Series X makes the best even betterĪnother feature of the backward compatibility function that should not be overlooked is how the Xbox Series X gives many of these games a much-needed performance boost. Having easy access to these familiar favorites is an irresistible draw. When I first booted up my Xbox Series X my original plan was to check out the impressive Game Pass service, but instead, I quickly found myself downloading the original Dead Space so I could revisit the Ishimura and battle hordes of nightmarish creatures like it was 2008 all over again.
Being able to easily access almost 20 years old games such as Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Max Payne 2 and TimeSplitters 2 on a modern console is nothing to sniff at. The smaller but still excellent selection of original Xbox games shouldn’t be overlooked either. Just listing all the available titles worth playing (or replaying) would take up this entire article. Including Fallout New Vegas, Left 4 Dead, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, Grand Theft Auto IV, and many (many) more classic games. Among the list of backward compatible titles are some of the best games of the seventh generation of consoles.
