Xbox Backwards-Compatibility Update this week!

According to a podcast interview at Major Nelson with Microsoft’s Peter Moore, “20 titles or more” will be added to the list of backwards-compatible games for the Xbox 360. Among the titles that this update will accommodate are Doom 3 and Lego Star Wars. The update is expected to go live some time this week.

“We’re going to continue to get as close as we can to our stated target of every Xbox game being backwards compatible with the Xbox 360“, states Moore in the Major Nelson Podcast. “There’s a very talented team right here in the Redmond campus that are working on [backwards compatibility] and they’ll continue to work on that, and more and more games will be announced over this calendar year and going forward“.

We’re still far from being able to throw out the old big black box, but this is definitely a pleasing progression.
