Clearly, "Call of Duty" titles are the most wanted games among Xbox One players. But which among the six titles on the list are they sure to get? Only one. "Call of Duty: Black Ops" is the only title on the list that's been confirmed to have Xbox One compatibility.
Five other games have also been confirmed to get the Xbox One compatibility treatment. These are "Halo Wars," "BioShock Infinite," "BioShock," "BioShock 2," and "Skate 3."
But will Xbox One players ever get the games they want? There's a high possibility, but it's not guaranteed.
"We can't promise every title will be available, but we're working hard to make as many of your favorite Xbox 360 titles playable on Xbox One," Microsoft said.
Microsoft's Xbox One backwards compatibility program started in November with an initial 104 games. Last month, 16 more titles were added.
