At E3 2015 the announcement of backwards compatibility coming to the Xbox One took everyone a bit by surprise, considering the console has been out for a few years now. The ability for developers to get their game into the program is supposedly as easy as deciding to opt in, but it has to be brought into question thanks to a recent tweet from Criterion Games.
The developers, responsible for creating Burnout Paradise, said they are in discussions for bringing the game to the Xbox One. Discussions for what? how to opt in?
Yes, we ARE talking to Microsoft about making XBox 360 Burnout Paradise available on XBox One via backwards-compatibility! More news soon!
