\"Xbox<\/a><\/p>\n

When it was announced back in March that Xbox’s backwards compatibility program was getting revived<\/a> for the brand’s 25th anniversary, there were a lot of questions as to whether that meant brand-new backwards compatibility additions from the OG Xbox and Xbox 360 era, or perhaps something else like the BC program making its debut on PC.<\/p>\n

We still don’t have the specifics on what’s happening later this year, but interestingly, Xbox exec Jason Ronald has invited fans to share their requests for new backwards compatibility titles via the Xbox Game Preservation website<\/a>, which is a non-official Xbox fansite that started gaining traction a few months ago.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Ronald had to say in response to a fan about this:<\/p>\n

There is a community driven site where you can make your requests known. @Flaassing<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/N5WY7kmdac<\/a>\u2014 Jason Ronald (@jronald) May 1, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the first time we can recall an Xbox employee actually inviting these kinds of requests from the Xbox community since November of 2021, when it was announced that no further backwards compatibility titles would be added<\/a> “due to licensing, legal and technical constraints”. Fingers crossed they’ve managed to find a way around it!<\/p>\n

It also proves that they’re paying attention to the Xbox Game Preservation site, so if there’s something you really want to see added to backwards compatibility, it’s worth voting for it on there \u2014 the leaderboard is perhaps overly dominated by Transformers<\/a> games as things stand.<\/p>\n

Before you do that though, let us know what you’ll be voting for down in the comments section below!<\/p>\n
