More games are joining the Xbox One backward compatibility program. Xbox's Larry Hryb recently announced that Peggle 2 and Marlow Briggs and the Mask of the Death will be playable on the console today.

Peggle 2 is the same game that's natively available on Xbox One. However, if you bought it on Xbox 360, you can play it on Xbox One without purchasing it again. Peggle 2 revolves around laughing balls from a cannon and hitting other balls so that you clear the board. It's quite simply yet surprisingly addictive.
