'Top Fan Requests' Coming to Xbox Backward Compatibility

Microsoft "[hasn't] ruled out" bringing original Xbox games to Xbox One, but is not currently working on it.

Some "top fan requests" are headed to the list of Xbox One backward compatible games this month, according to a recent tweet by Xbox head Phil Spencer.

The tweet, in response to a fan thanking Xbox for making the Xbox 360 RPG Blue Dragon playable on Xbox One, states: "Thanks, BC [backward compatibility] team just sent me their planned November list, looks to be a great BC month, landing some of top fan requests."

Could "top fan requests" include original-Xbox compatibility – especially with the 15th anniversary of the original Xbox happening on November 15? Last month, when asked if Microsoft would ever consider supporting backward compatibility for original Xbox games, Spencer stated on Twitter:

"We haven't ruled it out but we aren't working on it right now. I'd like to find the time to do it."
