Fallout 4's release may be foremost in your mind, but if you ever have the urge to play Fallout 3 again (and you played it on an XBox 360), good news: you don't have to drag out an older console to replay that game. It's on Microsoft's list of games that will be backwards-compatible with XBox One once its latest update hits on November 12.
It works a bit differently than BC traditionally does, however. You insert the 360 disc into the One, the One reads the disc and then it downloads the game from the XBox Live Marketplace. When BC was announced for the XBox One only 12 games were on the list. As of launch, that number has expanded to 104, with more on the way. The full to-date list is below:
