Backwards compatibility, that is
Get it? Praise the moon? I am good at memes, right guys?
In otherSoulsnews, Namco Bandai has just unveiled that the originalDark Soulsis going to be backward compatible on Xbox One by way of a bonus. As listed on Microsoft’s UK site, if you pre-orderDark Souls III(due in April), you’ll net a free code for the original game on Xbox One in “seven to ten days.” In all likelihood it will be widely released for those of you who own it digitally (or on-disc) in the coming weeks. Will Blight Town still be borderline unplayable in some sections? Stay tuned to find out!
I’ve said it a million times, but Microsoft has really come a long way since their original Xbox One pitch. Backward compatibility is one of the best things about the system, and it beats buying your entire library over again or streaming it on PS Now.
