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.

It follows the news of the Games with Gold February 2017 games lineup being confirmed, including those new Xbox 360 games you’ll be able to add to your collection.

As usual, there will be two Xbox One games to download and two Xbox 360 games to download, ALL of which can be claimed on Microsoft's next-gen gaming machine.

This is due to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility program.

First, fans get to play Monkey Island 2: Special Edition from the start of the month, followed by Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

It should also be noted that Killer Instinct Season 2 Ultra Edition will be available until February 15 as well – this was part of January's GWG list.
