The digital version of Burnout Paradise is $14.99 on the Xbox Store, but you should probably hold off on purchasing it as it will be free starting on December 16th as a part of Games with Gold. The digital version of Rayman Legends is $39.99 on the Xbox Store. Since Pure has no digital version for purchase, you’ll have to track down a physical copy of it if you want to play it on your Xbox One. Only a handful of backward compatible games have no digital option and require a disc, including the recently added Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.
The full list of compatible games can be found on Major Nelson’s website.
