Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is Now Backwards Compatible With Xbox One

Microsoft has announced yet another set of games that are joining the ever-growing list of Xbox360 games that are backward compatible with Xbox One, and one of them is SEGA’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Aside from being a great racing game in and of itself, it also includes countless references to many classic SEGA franchises. You get to play as characters from Sonic, Skies of Arcadia, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, NiGHTS and many other SEGA games, and the tracks are similarly based on classic SEGA franchises (including the Sega Saturn classics Panzer Dragoon and Burning Rangers).

If you consider yourself to be a SEGA fan, this really is a game you need to play. Aside from Xbox360, PS3, PS Vita and now Xbox One, the game is also available on PC (often at a very low price). There’s a mobile version as well, but I’d recommend the console/PC versions as they’re far superior and don’t include in-app purchases.

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Now Also Backward Compatible On Xbox One

After announcing backwards compatibility for Bayonetta on the Xbox One earlier on, Microsoft have now announced another SEGA Xbox360 title that can be played on Xbox One, namely Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown. Microsoft has been steadily working on making more and more games backwards compatible with the Xbox One, and these include plenty of past Xbox Live Arcade SEGA games such as Crazy Taxi, NiGHTS into DreamsSEGA Bass Fishing and Jet Set Radio. Earlier on, it was revealed that the game would be included in Yakuza 6 as well. At this point it’s not clear if a complete version of the game will also make its way to PlayStation 4.
