Must-Play Backwards Compatible Xbox 360 Games

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

Midnight Club is such a cool game. I love how they capture L.A. I love the soundtracks. I got to revisit that game again.

[@thegamethrifter]

Absolutely agree!

[@alangabrielnietosaavedra3639]

GTA 4. The Xbox Series is the only new generation console that can actually play it. Unfortunately is not available for PS4 and PS5.

[@thegamethrifter]

This is very true!

[@yourdirge]

We play Vanquish, Lost Planet and the Bioshock games regularly on XB1

[@thegamethrifter]

All great games to play!

[@NFSBeast2365]

I am a HUGE Midnight Club fan. It's my favorite Rockstar series. I'm so happy LA is Backwards Compatible on Xbox One/Series S and Series X.

[@thegamethrifter]

Such an underrated game!

[@zachross8081]

still waiting for more Xbox 360 games for backwards compatible?

[@thegamethrifter]

YES!

[@YesNo-yl6ws]

I thought they were done with the whole thing?

[@thegamethrifter]

@@YesNo-yl6ws They are, although some of us hold out hope.

[@YesNo-yl6ws]

@@thegamethrifter I really hope they bring it back, so many 360 games I wish I got to play

[@metalnuck3181]

Bully Scholarship Edition is a Rockstar game that needs to be played which is BC. Beautiful Katamari is an off the wall game that should be experienced that not many people talk about as well as Driver San Francisco.

[@thegamethrifter]

Really good game, and I hear there might be a remaster!

[@RokushoHasashi]

I own Max Payne 3, Black Ops 1, & Gears of War 3, and all look and play better on Xbox Series X. Other great backward compatible X360 games: Call of Duty 2 & 3 Bayonetta Vanquish Spec Ops the Line Gears of War 2 Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 Medal Gear Rising Revengeance

[@thegamethrifter]

Great list!

[@RokushoHasashi]

Why, thank you 😎

[@thegamethrifter]

@@RokushoHasashi No problem! That's what gaming is all about!

[@patrickmurphy9470]

Sonic Generations is BC and gets a 4K/60fps boost.

[@thegamethrifter]

@@patrickmurphy9470 Absolute gem of a game!

[@zachross8081]

we hope very soon to see more new backwards compatible games?

[@xKaZzu]

Still waiting for BC Tenchu Z 😎

[@thegamethrifter]

Good pick!

[@zachross8081]

we hope very soon to see more Xbox 360 games for backwards compatible?

[@crazyjak5816]

I think they ended support for that

[@thegamethrifter]

I hope so, but Microsoft has been quiet about it since ending the program!

[@13Carrey1]

If u mention Castlevania don't forget the game that plays between LoS 1 and 2 and that is Mirror of Fate! Also Backwards Compatible and in HD :) It was before that timed 3DS Exclusive. Also i wanna mention the DoA Fighting Games which looks also great on modern xbox plattforms no matter if they are OG or the one from the 360.

[@thegamethrifter]

Really excellent point and game!

[@richneedre48]

Love your videos I own SEVERAL Series X's, w NOW a new to teir flagship 2024 hdmi2.1 tv.. yet I have a GREAT 360 physical library 👍🏻✌️✌️✌️

[@thegamethrifter]

That's awesome! I have a great HDMI 2.1 TV as well, and it makes all the difference!

[@ThePhantomGamerForever]

Ha! I literally own every single one on this list excluding black ops. Definitely want black ops though. Been eyeing it a while.

[@thegamethrifter]

Really good game and awesome zombie mode too!

[@jarriwhyte5986]

I have a question would they add more backward compatibility games on the og and Xbox 360 sooner because I’m waiting for it to come to my Xbox series x💚✅✅🙂.

[@thegamethrifter]

They ended the program, but a lot of us hope they will.

[@noahboat580]

Are any of the Blitz the league football games backwards compatible now? Thats such an underrated sports franchise, especially when it was right after the EA's BIG era of street games. The 2nd one's pricey but is the better one.

[@thegamethrifter]

Nope, unfortunately they aren't.

[@Ahmedscornerr]

Can you do a video on the best Xbox 360 games that aren't BC. I know you did a video on it previously but I feel like there are many games that were missed in that video. I have an Xbox 360 and am looking for games to purchase that I can't play on my Xbox X. Give us the best games that never made the cut. As long of a list as you can.

[@thegamethrifter]

Absolutely!

[@Ahmedscornerr]

@@thegamethrifter Also you can extend it to OG Xbox games that work on 360 not just 360 games. Thank you.

[@thegamethrifter]

@@Ahmedscornerr Indeed! I just wish there were more of them!

[@nightwingnl5354]

Well that is at least one good thing xbox does

[@thegamethrifter]

I mean I guess it depends on what you're looking for really

[@bryancook6345]

Yeah if they didn’t require installation I play all my 360 games on my 360

[@thegamethrifter]

Can't go wrong! But a lot of the 360 games have enhancements on Series X which are really cool

[@bryancook6345]

@@thegamethrifter that’s true but since there are so many Xbox series X games on game pass I don’t install a lot of 360 games on my console

[@thegamethrifter]

@@bryancook6345 I understand. I install them on a external hard drive because then it doesn't take away space from new gen games which can't be played on the external drives.

[@playz452]

MAX PAYNE 1&2 FORGET 3 YOUR WELCOME 😁

[@thegamethrifter]

I've done a video on Max Payne 1-2, which are awesome. I happen to think Max Payne 3 is fantastic though.

[@patrickmurphy9470]

Max Payne 3 is an absolute blast and deserves more love.

[@thegamethrifter]

@@patrickmurphy9470 AGREED!

[@bluetrapband3714]

Hahahaha you loved gears three like I gears 2 did not like gears 3 at all. Don't like 4 or 5 that much either.

[@thegamethrifter]

I love the original trilogy overall, not a fan of 4-5...lol
