Microsoft's Backwards Compatibility Commitment Fuels Game Preservations - Episode 92

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, & PC gaming. For years now, backwards compatibility has been a feature staple within Microsoft’s line of gaming hardware, and with the newest console generation underway, it seems that isn’t slowing down, including the addition of backwards compatible titles heading to the xCloud streaming service. But while it’s a nice feature for fans of the ecosystem to have, one thing Microsoft may be doing is helping the industry with an issue that many have worries in: game preservation. This week, we explore Microsoft’s newest additions to the xCloud service, and why the preservation of original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles is something that Microsoft seems to be getting ahead of to avoid potentially putting their IP at historical risk down the road. Also, the original source code for Ninja Gaiden Black may be lost forever, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare gets a surprising new update, a new line of headphones for your Series X costs as much as the system, and much more, coming up on the newest episode of the Game Pass Gamecast! Be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a show when they drop every Friday morning!
