The game will use the new backwards compatibility technology recently revealed at E3 2015. The announcement came via Twitter through the official Criterion Games account, stating that they are currently in discussions with Microsoft, and hoping to bring backwards compatibility ‘soon’.

We have been given no further details regarding a release date, however due to the newest feature, bringing an Xbox 360 game to the current generation console requires little work. Like all backwards compatible games, anyone who owns a copy of the physical disc, or has purchased a digital copy will be able to play once the game is supported.
