It's very interesting to see how quickly the list of backward compatible games is expanding, and it will continue to do so. Now up to 182 titles, Xbox One owners now have more choice than ever.

With the Windows 10 Anniversary Update just a couple months away, gamers will also have access to UWP apps and Cortana. With these factors in mind, the Xbox One should be a more compelling option than it has ever been.
