SSX and Halo 3: ODST Bound For Xbox One via Backward Compatibility?

SSX and Halo 3: ODST Bound For Xbox One via Backward Compatibility?

With the library of backward compatible Xbox 360 games playable on Xbox One increasing all the time, it seems that you may soon be able to add another two to the list, as both SSX and Halo 3: ODST cover art has been spotted in Amazon listings, by Reddit user joecamnet.

According to said listings, Halo 3: ODST will be coming first on 7th June, followed by SSX the week after on 14th June. Apparently, the backward compatible version of Halo 3: ODST will be a 'Campaign Edition', with only the game's story mode and Firefight, but no multiplayer.

As reported by Videogamer, the box art clearly says 'Plays on Xbox One', which makes it clear that these titles could be making the jump to Xbox One soon. Other backward compatible titles announced but yet to be made available include Skate 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops, BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite.

Red Dead Redemption was also leaked on to the Xbox Games Store a while back as a BC title for Xbox One, so that one surfacing again at some point seems like a no-brainer.

  • Been really looking forward to SSX. Only snowboarding game I've played and I must have put in 300 hours.
  • Halo 3: ODST & Saint Row IV both are backwards compat with XBox One Versions. Probably likely to see more remasters with backwards compat.
  • Surprised they're doing ODST when it's available as part of MCC already.
  • @3 Given MCC's...unique...launch, and the months that followed, I'd wager quite a few people who did own it, no longer do. That, and others probably traded it in favor of Halo 5.
  • Would rather have the much superior SSX3
  • I hope ODST drops soon.... I'll see myself out
  • #5 I would love an SSX3 remaster, I'd also take SSX Tricky if I'm honest, amazing games.
  • @6 that was a shock-er! I'll go with you...
  • @5 SSX 3
  • If they'd just fucking confirm Red Dead already, I would be infinitely happy.
  • loved ssx wish for a new one nevermind bc maxed it
  • @5 & 7 Oh hellz to the 4 king YEAH!! Kazz those were my favorites by far. Its funny because I was just thinking about those two. All EA would have to do is name their price. Tricky was my first online multiplayer game. I loved them both. Racing others side by side, doing crazy stunts, that full mountain run.. and the glitch runs.. for better or worse, were SO much fun. Sadly its EA were dealing with, so we know it wont happen :(. They seriously need revisit this series PROPERLY.
  • Standard "we want Black Ops 1/Bioshock/Red Dead Redemption waaah" reply
  • I love Halo 3: ODST. There is no ODST "multiplayer" - it was just the Halo 3 multiplayer (only) on disc, with ALL the maps included. Let's hope that when (if) they make Halo 3 backwards compatible, that they not only support the multiplayer... but include all the DLC maps for free!!
  • @1 try Amped. It's a really fun snowboarding game.
  • Yay I was helpful!
  • Finally..... Firefight on XBOX One!!!!!!
  • SsX probably being a Games with Gold Title. EA should add Crysis too.
  • Still no Skate 3.... what a shocker.
  • SSX 3 and tricky were on original Xbox so that probably not going to happen, nice to see SSX being added
  • I really liked Halo ODST. Probably my pick for my favourite Halo (I also loved Halo Wars). I dispised the city plot framing device as I thought it was rather boring and killed the pacing a little, but the levels were brilliant I thought. As is customary, I'd love Mass Effect 2 and 3, Skyrim and a couple of others and I'd be hugely happy. My 360 doesn't play disks and I'm unwilling to spend money on a new one when I have a Xbone so I'd love to see those 3 games.
  • Q the -standard people complaining about people complaining comments waaah-
  • Still own and need to finish SSX!
  • @20 Odd, seeing as I have tricky on my Xbox 360 right now. I believe it was a GwG title, before they started making GwG titles BC.
  • @20 my apologies :) I was mistaken. I remember seeing a trailer for SSX with a remix of Run DMC's It's Tricky so I assumed it was a reboot of the original tricky!
  • Wasn't Burnout Paradise announced or hinted at a while ago?
  • Dead Space series and Hitman HD please.
  • If I remember correctly, I think I got SSX around the same time as the Xbone. So I didn't put as much time as I wanted to in it. Tricky was so much fun. Looking forward to playing this more.
  • @26 I hope thats true!
