Your hopes of playing Buffy on Xbox Series X have just been crushed.
Microsoft has just released more than 70 backwards compatibile Xbox and Xbox 360 titles onto Xbox One and Xbox Series S & X, at the same time advising this will be the last content drop for the program.
“This latest and final addition of 70+ titles to the backwards compatibility program was only possible through the passion and feedback from the community,” Microsoft’s Peggy Lo confirmed in an Xbox Wire post.
“Your constant requests for specific titles and enhancements encouraged the Backwards Compatibility team to partner with the original creators to preserve thousands of games from over four generations of Xbox. While we continue to stay focused on preserving and enhancing the art form of games, we have reached the limit of our ability to bring new games to the catalog from the past due to licensing, legal and technical constraints. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.”
For those looking for a small silver lining here — like myself and my dream to play Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Xbox Series X — Lo made a similar statement two years ago, saying Microsoft had “no plans to add additional original Xbox or Xbox 360 titles to the catalog.”
We’ll of course update you if Microsoft changes its mind when it comes to new backwards compatible titles.
