Xbox One backwards compatibility is get some press today with E3 behind us. Microsoft has announced a new addition to the BC lineup, and it’s a pretty big one in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Major Nelson confirmed the news on Twitter, saying the Xbox 360 shooter is now playable on Xbox One. It joins a growing list of classic Call of Duty games that are playable on the console, although curiously it doesn’t complete the Modern Warfare trilogy. 2009’s Modern Warfare 2 has not yet been added to the list. We here at ToTO still have hope for it!
If you already own Modern Warfare 3, you can simply pop in the disc or head to the Ready to Download section of the My Games and Apps area to download it. Alternatively, you can purchase a copy right from the Xbox Store.
As it happens, Modern Warfare 3 is a part of this week’s Deals With Gold lineup. It’s 50% off for Xbox Live Gold members until June 25, letting you get it for $15 / £12. Meanwhile, its DLC packs are all 33% off.
