Eleven games from the original Xbox were added to the old marketplace, including some Rockstar classics like Max Payne, Manhunt and Red Dead Revolver. This is the first time that the old storefront is updated since June 2019, when the last batch of backwards compatible games was made available before the team started focusing on the next-generation consoles.
Once again, all those recent listings do not confirm anything — but it certainly adds even more fuel to the discussion surrounding the possibility of new backwards compatible games potentialy being made available for Xbox’s 20th anniversary, especially when there is a special event just around the corner.
Reminder: those are new listings. Max Payne 3 always had a listing since it was released back in 2012, so there’s still a chance it might be made backwards compatible alongside 1 and 2.
I never understood why Max Payne 1 and 2 were never made BC
Well 2 maybe because it had that “Late Goodbye” song in the credits but 1 and 2 got re-released on that ps2-ps4 program years ago so not sure why they never came to BC on xbox
I think they can easily separate the two with a new digital listing, consider those games were only physical, so they clearly have renegotiated the rights with Koei Tecmo. I can see a bundle for the two and the separate downloads. The cover on the marketplace is the Ultimate one.
I hope they can add Halo 1 and 2, like the 360 ones, those games need to be preserved, MCC ones are modern ports, moreover based on pc ports, so different games altogether.
