Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Double Agent join Xbox backward compatibility

Everyone's been asking for these Splinter Cell games.

Today, Larry Hryb, Director of Programming for Xbox Live, announced that Xbox 360 games Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Splinter Cell: Double Agent are now backward compatible on Xbox One. Both games are the heavy-hitters fans were hoping for, and they're still a lot of fun.

Backward compatibility opens Xbox One to a huge variety of games, spanning three generations of Microsoft's consoles. Despite hardware differences, it remains an outstanding feature, allowing a select library of older games to be played on Xbox One. While the majority of them are Xbox 360 titles, there are also some original Xbox games in there.
