Microsoft adds final 76 titles to its backward compatibility program

Microsoft

Microsoft is adding 76 more games to its Xbox backward compatibility program. This batch will be the last one, as Xbox Compatibility Program Lead Peggy Lo explained, it "reached the limit of our ability to bring new games to the catalog from the past due to licensing, legal and technical constraints." The update includes the entire Max Payne series and F.E.A.R. franchise, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II, and Skate 2.

All the titles added will support Auto HDR on the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. The Xbox Series X and Xbox One X will render the games at four times their native resolution, while the Xbox Series S will do so at three times. And the Xbox One S and Xbox One will do that at double the resolution. Eleven titles will get FPS Boost, which improves framerates up to 60 frames per second, and 26 existing games in the library will also get the feature.
