Thanks to Microsoft's Xbox Backwards Compatibility, the players who now own the latest generation Xbox One home console can still enjoy the old game titles for Xbox 360. Every month, more Xbox 360 games are being redesigned and converted to become playable in Xbox One. This October, three game titles are confirmed to be backwards compatible with Xbox One, one of them being the previous "Silent Hill" installment.

Microsoft executive Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb took on Twitter to announce the old Xbox 360 titles that were recently included in Xbox One's Backwards Compatibility Catalog. As mentioned, the popular survival thriller video game "Silent Hill: Downpour" is now playable in Xbox One.

"Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard" and "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" are now also available in the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility list. Those who already have these old Xbox 360 video games stored in their Xbox One consoles will only need to wait or refresh their game library for them to show up automatically. Otherwise, the players will need to purchase them in Xbox's Marketplace.

"Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard" has a total size of 5.53 GB and can be purchased for $15, while "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" is 80.29 MB in size and costs $10. Lastly, "Silent Hill: Downpour" is available for $20, and has a total of 4.52 GB.

Earlier this month, Microsoft has already confirmed that the old Xbox 360 titles such as "Jurassic Park: The Game," "Battlestations: Midway," "Dragon's Lair" and "Tour de France 2011" are now backwards compatible with the Xbox One. More video games are expected to undergo conversion to become playable in the latest Xbox console, as gamers continue to demand more games to be backwards compatible with the Xbox One. As per Daily Star UK, "Skate 3," "Blue Dragon" and "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" are likely to become backwards compatible in the near future, although Microsoft has yet to confirm this.
