Today, Microsoft added three more titles to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility list, including The Darkness II, Spec Ops: The Line, and The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom. The list now includes a grand total of 470 Xbox and Xbox 360 games that are playable on Microsoft's latest generation of gaming consoles.

Here's what's new today:
