Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud) technology has reached an important new milestone with the new support for original Xbox and Xbox 360 games. Until now, only backwards-compatible Xbox One games were playable on Android devices via Microsoft’s cloud gaming technology, but that’s changing starting today with a selection of 16 original Xbox and Xbox 360 games.
“We’ve listened to the feedback, going all the way back to our earliest cloud gaming preview, and making games from previous generations available on mobile devices has been one of the most requested features by the community,” the Xbox team explained. Fable II, Fallout: New Vegas, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are among the new Backward Compatible games playable with Xbox Cloud Gaming starting today, and you can find the full list below:
