During his story time keynote at PAX AUS 2016, Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson answered fans' burning questions on Xbox Live, backwards compatibility and more.

When one individual from the crowd asked the director of Xbox Live programming what one game the Major would bring to Xbox backwards compatibility had he the choice, he riffed on his love for Red Dead Redemption and teased an upcoming announcement. Though Hryb understandably didn't reveal too much in the way of future titles, he did state there's a "huge announcement" coming for Xbox backwards compatibility when the system celebrates its first birthday on 12 November.

Could be 360 support for PC? Who knows

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

EDIT: Major Nelson just went on Reddit and posted that he never said there was a "huge" announcement but more of a celebration, expect fan favourite titles to be announced

PC support would be amazing!

KingBroly · Nov 4, 2016

Please be PC support. I'd be so happy

RobotVM · Nov 4, 2016

Original Xbox support is my guess.

spons · Nov 4, 2016

OG Xbox backwards compatibility?

Zabka · Nov 4, 2016

Original Xbox support starting with Ninja Gaiden Black!

woodland · Nov 4, 2016

Shadowrun! Finally, knew I'd only have to wait a year.

brandonh83 · Nov 4, 2016

Wish Sony cared this much about BC.

Gorilla Shark · Nov 4, 2016

Please be WWE All Stars..

Oh man... that would make me very happy. But I don't wanna get my hopes up.

Most likely yeah

Vinc · Nov 4, 2016

Original Xbox maybe.

Man... it sure would be amazing if the whole Xbox platform was compatible with every Xbox-branded game ever released at some point.

Chobel · Nov 4, 2016

Xbox OG emulation.

2SeeKU · Nov 4, 2016

I'm calling Skate 3, Mass Effect 2/3 and RDR on BC.

But l'd love OG Xbox.

Magwik · Nov 4, 2016

PC getting 360 BC to help push the Windows Store would be a genius move

Monado Blade · Nov 4, 2016

Finally, true MSX backwards compatibility!

ElMexiMerican · Nov 4, 2016

If they announce OG backwards compatibility, I would never get rid of my Xbox One unless it were to upgrade to a newer version.

AsylumBlue · Nov 4, 2016

If they can get it working on PC, that'd be pretty amazing. It would also be a very good business decision.

When you figure out a way to emulate the cell processor on the PS4 CPU make sure to give Sony a call.

Anyways my first thought for this was original XBOX BC.

aGuyInaBearSuit · Nov 4, 2016

My guess: PC compatibility for 360 games.

My dream: Burnout Paradise finally getting BC.

Same.

tearsintherain · Nov 4, 2016

Its obviously the GOAT of fishing simulators being added to BC

Wish Sony cared this much about a lot of things. But they don't and never will so ¯\_(&#12484

_/¯.
That said, BC is a far trickier proposition on the PS4 than it is the X1 and we've known this for awhile.

Would be awesome.

iavi · Nov 4, 2016

Good lord, if they deliver on OG Xbox emulation

Fou-Lu · Nov 4, 2016

PC support would be crazy! I could finally actually finish Lost Odyssey and Baten Kaitos.

KingV · Nov 4, 2016

DMC HD collection.

killer rin · Nov 4, 2016

Come on, port that codebase to Windows 10. I know you can do it Microsoft

That makes sense, though 'huge' might be debatable.

I have my own personal Most Wanted list, but what game could be as big a 'get' for Backward Compatibility as Red Dead Redemption? Realistically....probably nothing.
So some sort of functionality expansion or improvement seems most likely.

blakep267 · Nov 4, 2016

Are the OG games available digitally though?

But likely it's just a few bigger names games

Drago · Nov 4, 2016

Please please please be OG Xbox support or 360 on PC.

Though it's probably just gonna be the current most highly requested game coming to BC, whatever that is. Or a dumping of a large amount of games

JayEH · Nov 4, 2016

Finally vanquish.

potatohead · Nov 4, 2016

Will day one a Scorpio if it has og xbox in there

wesleyshark · Nov 4, 2016

Mass Effect 2 and 3 #believe

erotic grandpa · Nov 4, 2016

This is the correct response.

Shy of PC backwards compatibility or OG Xbox support, I can't really think of any huge exclusives that haven't already made it that way just yet. Maybe full backwards compatibility? The rest of the Mass Effect Trilogy?

etta · Nov 4, 2016

Black Ops 2 or Modern Warfare 2 BELIEVEEEEEEEE!!!

c0Zm1c · Nov 4, 2016

Original Xbox support would be fantastic.

I would love this. Add Rallisport Challenge 2 pls. (or is there some licensing thing that prevents that one?)

PhazonBlazer · Nov 4, 2016

PS3 support on Xbone?

blakep267 · Nov 4, 2016

Also that coincides with the Xbox Mexico fan fest thing. That's from November 11-13 and Phil spencer is supposed to be there

iavi · Nov 4, 2016

OG Xbox support would be a game-changer. There's not even a working PC emulator for that box

There's so many games I'd go through again

LowRoller · Nov 4, 2016

Og xbox support would make me so happy.

Camp1nCarl · Nov 4, 2016

OG Xbox support would be AMAZING

I had no idea that such thing was happening. Would be nice if they announced Sunset Overdrive on PC there.

There is progress being made on an emulator so there's that...

lem0n · Nov 4, 2016

PGR4 please

WeWereGiants · Nov 4, 2016

OG Xbox Emulation would be awesome. I'd love to replay some classics like Jade Empire, KOTOR 1 & 2 and even some of my guilty pleasures like Crimson Skies and Sudeki.

Bringing Fable Anniversary, Tales of Vesperia and Mass Effect 2/3 to current backwards compatibility would be enough for me though.

wesleyshark · Nov 4, 2016

OG Xbox support would be a fucking solid announcement
