Microsoft adds five more games to Xbox One Backward Compatibility list; now over 200 titles

Microsoft has added five more titles to the list of Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible with the Xbox One. The fresh additions bring the Backward Compatibility list to a new milestone: it now has over 200 games on it, or more specifically, 203.

Of course, this week has been flooded with Xbox news, as the E3 conference has been going on all week. At its press conference, Microsoft unveiled the new Xbox One S, a slimmed down version of the console. The firm also announced a more powerful version of the console - codenamed Project Scorpio - which is coming in 2017.

Here are the games that were added today:

Babel Rising (Not available in the Xbox Store)

Babel Rising lets you play as a God and use your powers to prevent humans from building the tower of Babel. Hurl bolts of lightning, cause massive earthquakes, or unleash gigantic floods upon the Babylonians.
