No new Xbox One backward compatible games coming until 2018

With the holidays rapidly approaching, don't expect any new backward compatible games until next year.

Since its initial unveiling back in 2015, the Xbox One's backward compatibility initiative has remained one of the console's differentiating features. Allowing select Xbox 360, and more recently original Xbox titles, to be played on Xbox One hardware, the program has revived hundreds of games for the current generation.

While a steady flow of backward compatible titles has been delivered over recent months, it now appears releases are coming to an end. As announced on Twitter by Director of Programming at Xbox, Larry Hryb, the backward compatibility team is winding down activity for the holidays, with no new titles on track until 2018.

After releasing 136 Xbox 360, 13 Original Xbox & 7 enhanced Xbox 360 titles in 2017, the Xbox One Backward Compatibility team is taking some time off for the holidays. Releases resume after New Year. Thank you for all of your support this year! https://t.co/sBz55GfVF4 http://pic.twitter.com/u5X7k8Jnqj
