If you’re a fan of Rayman Origins, there’s some good news for you. The game is now playable on the Xbox One, thanks to the Microsoft’s backward compatibility feature allowing users to play Xbox 360 games on the newer Xbox One (viaMajor Nelson).

Some of the episodes of the game are already available on the Xbox One in the form of Rayman Legends, but if you’re the fan of the good old Rayman Origins, you can now enjoy it on your new console.

It’s not just Rayman Origins, a handful of other titles are backward compatible on the Xbox One, including the likes of Pac-Man, Lego Star Wars, Duke Nukem, Earthworm Jim and several other titles. You can check out thecomplete list of games supported by this new feature here.

In the same post the lists the games that recently gained backwards compatibility, Major Nelson also answers frequently asked questions about the feature as there is still some confusion.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
