Xbox One News, Update: Xbox Backwards Compatibility Feature Adds Bioshock Trilogy And Bully, Now Available To Play

Xbox One has been able to bring some older games back to fans via the Backwards Compatibility library, and two classic titles have made their way into the roster. The entire Bioshock Trilogy is now available, and Rockstar Games' Bully is also available for purchase.

The announcements come from Larry Hryb a.k.a. Major Nelson on Twitter. He first posted that the entire Bioshock Trilogy (Bioshock, Bioschock 2, and Bioshock Infinite) was available on the Xbox One's Back Compat, giving the library more than three hundred titles.

Some guess that since 2K Games has just recently released all the remastered editions of the Bioshock Trilogy, the Back Compat will not get the automatic upgrade. Some still consider that the Bioshock Games looked good on their own, so not getting the remastered version won't really be a problem.

Aside from its trademark gameplay of letting players use guns and plasmids (special drinks that give the playable character powers), Bioshock is probably best known for its intriguing storylines that deal with deep philosophies on humanity.

Hyrb also announced more games coming to the Xbox Backwards Compatibility library like Catherine and Raskulls, but the biggest title probably attached to the announcement was Bully: The Scholarship Edition.

2016 marks the 20th Anniversary for Bully, and Rockstar has just released an updated version that users can play on the Android and iOS. The game lets players take control of delinquent student Jimmy Hopkins as he tries to wreak havoc and climb up the social ladder of Bullworth Academy.

Since Rockstar is best known for open-world games like GTA and Red Dead Redemption, fans who are first-timers to Bully should just expect GTA, but instead of the world of modern gangsters, they're instead taken into the world of a private middle school.

A lot of seasoned gamers seem to agree that Bioshock and Bully are well-revered titles, and now they're available for Backwards Compatibility for the Xbox One.
