Industry insider ekim has revealed the today’s titles for Xbox One’s backward compatibility. Posting on the Xbox One subreddit, ekim states that the next backward compatible games will be as follows: Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, Brain Challenge and Flashback.
Ekim has a phenomenal track record when it comes to industry leaks, recently leaking AAA titles such as Dead Rising 4 and Forza Horizon 3. Evidence to back up ekim’s claims about these big titles coming to Xbox One come from Xbox boss, Phil Spencer, who claimed during Giant Bomb’s E3 coverage that Xbox “actually have some good, I think, announces tomorrow that are coming out on back compat.”
