Original Xbox

Microsoft is bringing original Xbox games to the Xbox One. After launching Xbox 360 backwards compatibility at E3 last year, Microsoft is surprising gamers again with original Xbox games. Crimson Skies is one of the first titles planned for the new backwards compatibility, and Xbox chief Phil Spencer promises that original Xbox games will "look better and play better across the Xbox One family."

The original Xbox games support will launch later this year, and it's likely that Microsoft will trial it with Xbox Insiders in the coming months.
