Two Tomb Raider games backwards compatible on Xbox One

Two more Tomb Raider Xbox 360 titles are now backwards compatible on Xbox One, Microsoft and Square Enix have today confirmed.

Both Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary are now backwards compatible, ahead of the release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider later this year.

Tomb Raider: Legend was first released in 2006 and has appeared on Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, Gamecube, DS, GameBoy Advance and PSP. The release marked Lara Croft’s first adventure on the Xbox 360.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary followed in 2007 and has appeared on Windows PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP and Wii. Anniversary is a remake of the original Tomb Raider and uses the same engine as Legend itself.

If you own a digital copy of either game, you’ll find it for download under the Xbox One’s My Games & Apps area. Those with a disc-based copy of either game can simply insert it into your Xbox One to begin the download process.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third part of a Tomb Raider reboot launched by Crystal Dynamics in 2013. It’s expected on 14 September and is developed by Eidos Montreal. Read our recent preview of the game here.
