Its a bummer no physical but that's what I got my Switch version for (Which had to be imported because of that code in a box BS they gave Europe, which is probably an indicator that XBox won't see a physical).
XBox is my main so I purchased that bad boy since I know I'll get a lot of hours on it (You have to beat every game with EVERY character or the last achievement. Not to mention Online matches.).
They can prove me wrong and I'll happily triple dip but for now, just happy to have it on XBox.
Probably wise to pick up the Adventure games given SEGA nuked all those other retro games last month, the fact these games are already delisted in countries like Germany and Italy, and likely the whole Live and Learn lawsuit.
The Switch 2 will likely match it in specs, so you can bet there will be a lot of XBone/PS4 ports down the road.
If they run on the Series X/S and PS5 anyway, why wouldn't you want the whole Microsoft/Sony family of supported systems in your sales? Not every game needs current gen specs to run and you can make current gen patches for those systems anyway.
We've been getting games this year XBox missed out on last Death Stranding, Genshin Impact, FF14 and the Pixel Remasters, even reversing the decision on those Capcom Fighting Collections skipping XBox.
While not something that'll light the world on fire, it has a shot at least.
@FraserG The drawback however is you'll pack your redownload list, which is likely going to be the main way or redownloading anything in the future, and that thing can't handle long lists all that well.
Probably be if Microsoft needed a big Gamepass drop.
All those missed games on the day of announcement, should provide some gaming for a few months and many folks picking up MVC when it eventually leaves Gamepass.
People rallied hard for the return on MVC2 on anything so I'm sure the XBox side will continue that rally as well.
Well you can always abandon modern gaming and just embrace the tens of thousands of past physical releases on past systems.
Digital only, battle passes and DLC everywhere, half finished games set out the door to fix later, the business is already sounding more off-putting with every year that passes.
Not to say there aren't still great games being put out, just the large majority of releases embraces the stuff people hate or put up with.
Its handy, I picked up Halo 2 recently as I found the steelbook in actually good non-rusted condition for a change, so I can test it on my already plugged in 360.
@BlueOcean Well, some of the recent BC games don't have a digital version on 360 consoles like the new Star Wars titles, as I'd imagine that would require extra programming on the 360's Backwards compatibility, so I'd imagine those might be the exception.
I honestly wasn't expecting 70+ and I applaud them for that. Chicken Little's Frame Boost, let alone it's inclusion baffles me they they did it to make the 5 CL fans happy so there's that.
700+ BC games is still a good number. Nothing everything was possible but they tried hard to get as much as they could and I'm happy as the big 360 fan myself to see new stuff that will come to Games with Gold and the weekly sales in due time, this is a big boost for those and will ensure the 360 servers get more lift even if the number of individual servers for games are vanishing every year.
And who knows what will happen by XBox's 25th or even 30th anniversaries. If they are really serious about buying more companies, suddenly all those SEGA games would be more than possible should that impossible transaction ever happen....
Considering this week's 360 sale has several titles not BC and other non-BC titles in other sales past, maybe start there? I mean I'm sure those publishers would make more money if those games could be played on more consoles right?
Hell, add pointless titles if you must like OG Halo 1+2 to really beef up the numbers. Wouldn't mind new sale options on 360. XD

Re: These 10+ Xbox 360 Classics Are Closing Their Servers This Year
