Last week, Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra made it clear that we would find out today which Xbox 360 games would be playable on its current generation Xbox One console. At the time, Ybarra said that 100+ games would be supported, and today we’re learning that the actual number is 104.

Even though the official version of the list was handed down today (you can view the full list here), the its contents should come as no surprise. Twitter user KRVSHM revealed the complete (and accurate) list a week ago. You’ll see plenty of popular titles including the entire backlog of Gears of Wars, Forza Motorsport, and Assassin’s Creed games.

But as Ybarra explains, this “is just the beginning” when it comes to backwards compatibility. “You can expect new Xbox One Backward Compatible games to be announced on a regular basis, starting in December,” Ybarra explained. “More titles are on the way, including fan favorites like Halo Reach, Halo Wars, Call of Duty: Black Ops 1, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, and Skate 3. Stay tuned because this is just the beginning of a long list of Xbox 360 games that will run on Xbox One.”

It gives you a brief overview of the feature including some of the advanced features that you’ll find:
