Loads Of Xbox 360 Games Have Received Surprise Updates 15 November 2021 by Richard Breslin Loads of Xbox 360 games have received surprise updates on Xbox One and Xbox Series XS, sparking excitement among fans. Later today is Microsoft’s 20th-anniversary celebrations for the launch of the original Xbox. While we do know that no new games will be announced, we will be celebrating fan-favourite Xbox games of yesteryear. We're celebrating 20 years of Xbox & getting ready for 20 more ? ?

Those prayers were seemingly answered as a list of OG Xbox games suddenly appeared on the Xbox marketplace.ADVERT ADVERT Among the list of OG Xbox games were the first two Max Payne games. This then sparked hope that Max Payne 3 would finally be added to the Xbox One/Series XS backward compatibility to complete the trilogy. There's a large update being pushed for backwards compatible titles on Xbox right now. Hopefully new titles and/or features are just around the corner! ? pic.twitter.com/UnmiXJje5A- X̷ßƲᕲZ (@Xbudz) November 13, 2021 Well over the weekend, a load of current Xbox 360 backward compatible games received surprise updates. Among the titles updated were Gears of War 2, 3 and Judgment, Dead Space 2 and 3, Assassin’s Creed and more. Of course, these updates could mean nothing. After all, they are already existing games on the backward compatibility list, and they could just be stability updates. But what if they’re not? What if these games are getting visual and performance upgrades for Xbox Series XS? Obviously, at this time we can only speculate, but hopefully, all will be revealed later today.ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Rockstar Games Could Max Payne 3 become backwards compatible Furthermore, this might just be a coincidence, but over the same time period that these Xbox 360 games received updates, Max Payne 3 appeared on the Saudi Arabian Xbox Marketplace. Honestly, if they make Max Payne 3 backwards compatible tomorrow that would be huge. I’ve wanted to replay that game for years.Drug-addled, alcoholic Max is the best Max. pic.twitter.com/KeGooqeIR0- @billycupid (@billycupid) November 14, 2021 Do you believe that there’s something to those Xbox 360 games receiving surprise updates and do you believe Max Payne 3 will become backwards compatible?
