Microsoft has announced the next couple of Xbox 360 games that will be playable on the Xbox One via its backward compatibility. A pair of Ubisoft games comprises this newest batch of Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible- the fan-favorite Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, which was one of the big hits on the Xbox 360 in its early days, and Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD, the console re-release Assassin’s Creed Liberation.

Liberation, if you remember, was the PS Vita release of the Assassin’s Creed series. Meant to serve as a companion to Assassin’s Creed III, it was viewed by many as the superior Assassin’s Creed game that year, especially in light of the disappointment many veteran fans felt from Assassin’s Creed 3.

Now, both it, and Advanced Warfighter are available for Xbox One players to go hands on with for themselves. Hopefully, at least Advanced Warfighter is also updated for Xbox One X compatibility. I have a feeling it would look great in 4K.

Looks like some pretty big Xbox 360 games are going to be added to the backward compatibility list on Xbox One pretty soon- in its blog post detailing the Tom Clancy game spotlight sale, Xbox let slip that Splinter Cell: Conviction and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter are both going to be made available on Xbox One via backward compatibility soon.

“Or if you’d prefer to play some of the modern classic Tom Clancy games, available on Xbox 360 and Xbox One through Backward Compatibility, Splinter Cell: Conviction and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter are also discounted up to 67% off!” the copy on the web page originally read (thanks to NeoGAF for spotting this). Right now, the Xbox One part has been removed, which seems to indicate that they jumped the gun on making the announcement.

While Conviction remains a controversial game, Advanced Warfighter is much beloved by fans of the series. On the whole, this is a good pair of games being made available to Xbox One players for sure.
