In celebration of Microsoft’s 20th anniversary, the company announced that they added 76 new games that can be played on Xbox One and Xbox Series via the backwards compatibility program.

This will be the final batch of games that will be added. According to Microsoft, they have “reached the limits of [their] ability to add additional games to the catalog due to licensing, legal or technical constraints.” The move to add these last batch of games is simply part of the company’s celebration of its 20th anniversary.

Some of the games added include Red Dead Revolver, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, the Max Payne trilogy, and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.
