Backwards Compatability
There are a lot of games that released during the Xbox 360’s lifespan, many of which players may not have had a chance to play. Much like Games With Gold, the ability to pick up titles from the past is always a fantastic addition. These aren’t digital rentals either, as Microsoft allows you to keep your collection of 360 titles to experience and enjoy with no strings attached. Yes, not every game that was released for the 360 is backwards compatible, but Microsoft has done a fine job curating a list of fantastic games.
This also allows for a more particular setup for people, as many may not have room on their desks, shelves, or tables for multiple systems at a time. Being able to condense both libraries into one piece of technology is quite helpful. It’s also a great way to show off the classic games that made the Xbox 360 such a success as if it’s a digital museum preserving its history. Plus, it’s completely free if you already own the game so there’s nothing really to lose.
