The newest batch of Xbox 360 backward compatible games on the Xbox One has been revealed- it’s a relatively lower profile bunch of games this time around, with the headlining game being Daytona USA. Of course, ardent fans of the classic arcade racer will tell you that Daytona USA is better than just about any other major AAA title Microsoft could have put up on the store- honestly, they’d probably be right, too.

The other two games that are included as part of this update are Stacking and Tower Bloxx Deluxe. As always, you can either buy these games from the Xbox One Store, or you can download them from your library, if you own these games already.

With so many of Xbox 360’s games now being playable on the Xbox One, I suppose the question is- what major game that isn’t playable on the system yet would you like to see enabled with backward compatibility? Let us know in the comments section below.

Daytona USA is the game that truly defined head-to-head racing for a generation of arcade gamers,” said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Publishing for SEGA of America. “We have re-created every element of the Daytona experience for the new console version. Having the ability to play the game in online multiplayer turns your living room into the arcades of yesteryear.

SEGA have released Daytona USA on PlayStation Network in North America.  Daytona USA is available to download for $9.99 / 800 Microsoft Points.
