First 13 Original Xbox Games Get Xbox One Compatibility Today

By Shane McGlaun

Yesterday Microsoft announced the first 13 Xbox games from the original console that will be updated and launched for Xbox One compatibility. All 13 of these games will land today and have enhanced graphics to make them appeal to modern gamers.

You do have to own the original titles to be able to play them on your Xbox One. The updates include 1080p graphics, higher and smoother frame rates, and faster loading times. The games include:

  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
  • Ninja Gaiden Black
  • Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
  • Fuzion Frenzy
  • Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
  • Psychonauts
  • Dead to Rights
  • Black
  • Grabbed by the Ghoulies
  • Sid Meiers Pirates!
  • Red Faction II
  • BloodRayne 2
  • The King of Fighters Neowave

To play these games all you need do it put the original game disc into your Xbox One and play. You can also play the games digitally. If you don’t have the games on disc, you can pick the games up from the Xbox Store for $9.99 each.

Word is that multiplayer works as well across the Xbox family. IGN reports that they have a successful four-player game with one person on an original Xbox, one on an Xbox One X, another on an Xbox One S, and another player on an original Xbox One.
