Microsoft announced today that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alan Wake, and Pac-Man are all now available to play as backwards compatible titles on Xbox One.

We knew Alan Wake was on the way, thanks to a promotion related to the upcoming Quantum Break, and Symphony of the Night was accidentally revealed in a leak, but Pac-Man is a surprise.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alan Wake and Pac-Man are Xbox Live Arcade titles, so you should see them in your library to download them on Xbox One if you already own them. Like all Xbox One backwards compatible games, you can either play the digital version of Alan Wake, or if you own the disc, you can use that to play, too.

Our Take

Well, this is annoying. I have barely started The Division, and now I have to go play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night just because I am reminded it exists, can play it on the console that is currently hooked up to my TV, and it's awesome. Thanks a lot Microsoft!
