Hitman: Absolution comes to Xbox One backward compatibility

Xbox 360 title Hitman: Absolution is now playable on Xbox One via backward compatibility. While it's the only game being added today, Hitman: Absolution joins a rapidly growing list of backward compatible games that numbers north of 300.

If you've somehow missed out on the Hitman series, Absolution plants you in the shoes (and suit) of Agent 47, the world's ultimate assassin. Throughout the game's story, you'll be sent on missions to take out high-profile targets with your bare hands or any variety of weapons you can get your hands on. Along the way, your knack for stealth will be tested as you track down your targets.

If you already own Hitman: Absolution, either digitally or on disc, you should be able to start playing it once again right away on your Xbox One. If you're interested in diving in fresh, however, you can pick Absolution up at the Xbox 360 Marketplace for $20. And for more backward compatible titles, be sure to check out our comprehensive rundown of every game on the list.
