Outland and Gunstar Heroes added to Xbox One backwards compatibility list

Xbox One owners who bought the digital copies of two older Xbox 360 games, Outland and Gunstar Heroes, can now play them on the Xbox One via its its backwards compatibility feature.

The games were revealed as new entries on the list on the Major Nelson Twitter page. Outland, developed by Housemarque and published by Ubisoft, was first released for the Xbox 360 in 2011.
