Xbox One backwards compatibility feature update begins rolling out

Earlier this morning, Microsoft pulled the trigger on the New Xbox One Experience update. Now the company has started rolling out the second big update for the Xbox One, which will allow owners of the console to play over 100 older Xbox 360 games.

Just a reminder: Here is the initial list of Xbox 360 games that can be played on the Xbox One. People who own these games on disc can put them into the Xbox One and it will begin downloading to the console's hard drive. Gamers who have already bought digital versions of those games can refresh their Game Collection list and see those titles in their "Ready to install" queue.
