Future 360 Games with Gold will be playable on Xbox One via backwards compatibility

During the Microsoft press conference at Gamescom 2015 it was announced that all games released for free as a part of the Games with Gold program will be backwards compatible.

So this means that you will potentially have 4 new games every month that you will be able to play on your Xbox One. So over the course of a year you can add an additional 48 titles to your Xbox One library! 48! That’s a huge number of games that you get for free as an added bonus of being a Xbox Live Gold member.

Backwards compatibility is still in beta stage so only Preview Program members are currently able to take advantage of this feature; however the beta will end and be available for all in November later this year.
