If you are not a part of the preview program, I bet you are itching with excitement for the new Xbox One Experience that is coming this month. Well good news, you don’t have to wait for long.
Phil Spencer announced last Monday evening that the new XOE will go live on November 12th. Not only will you be receiving the new dashboard, which does not only look sleek, but is extremely functional as well, you will also be able to play some of your favorite titles from the Xbox 360 through backwards compatiblility.
In case you need a refresher as to what you can play through the BC program when the update goes live/not long after launch, here is a little list:
| A Kingdom for Keflings |
| A World of Keflings |
| Alien Hominid HD |
| Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts |
| Banjo-Tooie |
| BattleBlock Theater
Bomberman Live Borderlands Burnout Paradise Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Castle Crashers |
| Defense Grid: The Awakening
DiRT 3 Dungeon Siege III Fallout 3 |
| Gears of War (1,2,3 & Judgment) |
| Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved |
| Hexic HD |
| Jetpac Refuelled
Just Cause 2 |
| Kameo |
| Mass Effect

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas (1& 2) |
| Toy Soldiers |
| Toy Soldiers: Cold War |
| Viva Piñata |

So yeah, that’s a ton of stuff, with many more to be added over time.
In case you haven’t seen the dashboard, in my opinion it definitely makes navigation a lot more simple. While I could rave on and on, it will all make sense come November 12th!
