Microsoft Is Taking Extra Time For Halo Backwards Compatibility In Order To Live Up To Fan Expectations
It is already known that Halo: CE Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4 will be available to play on the Xbox One through the backward compatibility program as announced earlier this year. But it was not clear when. Fortunately, 343 Industries provided an update last week. In a blog post, 343 Industries acknowledged that players are eager to play the 4 Halo games on the Xbox One.
