Microsoft has added 76 new games to Xbox backward compatibility program as they celebrate Xbox’s 20th anniversary.

The backward compatibility program was on hold for over two years and is now returning with scores of Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles, including the popular Max Payne series, Star Wars, Resident Evil and Dead or Alive titles.

All the 76 new titles that have been added to the backward compatibility library will support Auto HDR and resolution enhancement on both the Xbox Series X and Series S. The entire new catalogue will also be available on Xbox One.

Xbox Series X and Xbox One X console owners will see a 4x resolution increase, Xbox Series S owners will see a 3x increase and Xbox One S and Xbox One owners will see a 2x resolution increase.

Microsoft has also rolled out FPS Boost to 33 titles via Xbox Cloud Gaming (beta), including The Evil Within 2, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

Players can toggle FPS Boost and Auto HDR through the ‘Manage Game’ section.

“You asked for more games to be added to the backward compatibility catalogue, from top-tier blockbusters to cult classics. And we heard you,” explains Peggy Lo, Compatibility Program Lead at Xbox. “You can play these games today if you own them on disc or digitally, and the vast majority can be purchased digitally by new players in the Microsoft Store starting later today.”
