Rumored Games:
Additionally, during Microsoft’s press conference at Gamescom this year, a video was playing in the background in which a list of Xbox 360 games scrolled by. Several of these titles were not on the list of the games confirmed by Microsoft, however, their inclusion likely means they will eventually make their way to Xbox One.

One last note, if you don’t see your favorite 360 games on the list, don’t fret. Microsoft added a new section to their Xbox Feedback page, allowing users to vote on which games they want to make the cut. Since it is ultimately up to the publisher as to whether or not their game is backwards compatible, there is no guarantee it ever ends up on the list, but there are certain things we must do for love, arbitrary or not.
Let us know which games you hope to make the cut in the comments section below.
