Jan-Release-Back-Compat_HERO-940x376Microsoft isn’t going to make fans wait to play the latest games added to the Xbox One backward compatibility list.

The company announced today that it’s changing the release schedule for backward compatibility games, releasing them as they’re ready rather than in one big announcement once a month.

The announcement also included the last big batch of games added to the backward compatibility program, including Counter Strike: GO and Soulcalibur. It’s even offering the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings for free, now that it’s playable through backward compatibility on Xbox One.

The change was made after Microsoft got a significant amount of feedback from fans who didn’t want to wait. From now on, Microsoft will add individual titles to the full list as soon as they’re tested and ready to play.

“Based on your feedback, the Xbox Engineering team will start to pilot a new way to launch Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles,” the post reads. “Starting today, we’ll release titles as they become available, rather than a set monthly launch date.”

Fans can keep up to date with the latest backward compatible titles through a new feed on the Xbox Wire. There are now nearly 130 titles that are a part of the program. Here’s the full list of the latest titles added this month:

  • The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
  • Sam & Max Save the World
  • Aegis Wing
  • Counter-Strike: GO
  • Age of Booty
  • Space Giraffe
  • Soulcalibur
  • Skullgirls
  • Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad
  • Small Arms
