Xbox Live Arcade Compilation Disc Works On Xbox One
The Xbox One backwards compatibility feature is finally available for all Xbox One users and players all over the world can now enjoy some of the best Xbox 360 games on their new Xbox One consoles. Among the titles that are currently compatible with the Xbox One backwards compatibility feature are two Xbox Live Arcade titles, Pac-Man Championship Edition and Feeding Frenzy. The two games are included alongside others on the Xbox Live Arcade Compilation Disc and it looks like it’s possible to play the two games on Xbox One by using the compilation disc.
According to reddit user Zecterium, using the Xbox Live Arcade Disc on Xbox One will make players download two updates. Following the error message, both Pac-Man Championship Edition and Feeding Frenzy will be added to download queue.
“I was really excited to see Pac-Man Championship Edition on the list of backwards compatible titles last week. It occurred to me tonight that I might have to buy it again, because I have it as part of the Xbox Live Arcade Compilation Disc that I found at a Gamestop last year (for 99 cents!). I decided to give it a try, and lo and behold, I was met with a message saying I needed to download 2 updates, followed by two errors. I checked my queue, and Pac-Man and Feeding Frenzy were both downloading! I played Pac-Man and it worked flawlessly!”
The Xbox One backwards compatibility feature is definitely one of the more interesting features that has been added to the console following its launch. Several high profile titles are currently compatible with the feature, such as the first entry of the Mass Effect series and its DLC packs, and many others will be made compatible in the future such as Burnout Paradise from Criterion, Bayonetta from Platinum Games, several high profile Ubisoft titles and more.
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
