Xbox One Backwards Compatibility updates coming later this week?
Alice: Madness Returns is now available to either install via disc, or download from the Xbox Store for free.
Xbox's Larry Hryb made the announcement on Twitter, who has also hinted that it’s going to be a busy week for Microsoft.
Fans should prepare for another Xbox One Backwards Compatibility announcement later this week, probably set for Thursday.
While Microsoft do not hold with set dates for their BC announcements, Tuesdays and Thursdays have become the most usual times for games to be revealed.
Having posted a message on Twitter about the week ahead, the replies from fans to Hryb mainly focused on Black Ops 2, Black Ops 2 and when Black Ops 2 will be announced.
