EA's winter sports game SSX is the latest to support Xbox One backwards compatibility

Electronic Arts' 2012 extreme winter sports game SSX for the Xbox 360 is the latest game that can be played on the Xbox One via its backwards compatibility feature.

The new edition was announced on the Major Nelson Twitter account. Here's a quick description of SSX:

EA SPORTS SSX will allow players to experience the franchise's signature fun and adrenaline-packed gameplay across iconic mountain ranges all over the world. Utilizing NASA topographical satellite data, we've mapped out a Massive World for players to explore. Using a Google-Earth inspired interface, navigate throughout nine expansive mountain ranges and regions, each with multiple peaks and multiple drops. SSX packs reality-defying gameplay into every run letting players Race, Trick, and Survive down huge open mountains. In addition, Explore, Global Events and RiderNet - SSX's recommendation engine - headline an online feature set that will revolutionize social competition for gamers, making it fun and easy to compete with friends on your schedule.
