Fluctuations in The List of Compatible Games Over Time
The original list was composed of 279 games and was unveiled on November 11, 2005 on the Xbox website; however, some games have been subsequently removed due to bugs.
Six games were removed from the list: Codename: Kids Next Door - Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E., Curse: The Eye of Isis, FIFA World Cup 2002, NBA Live 2003, Rugby 2005, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars (works only in Europe and North America).
Seven games were removed temporarily, but were added back later: Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, Catwoman, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Legends of Wrestling, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Pariah, and Sid Meier's Pirates!.
He-Man: Defender of Grayskull remains on the list despite the fact the game was never released (it had been cancelled by the developer before completion). The Japanese version of the console was initially compatible with only twelve games, while the European version had 156 games.
The last update for Xbox 360 backwards compatibility in North America was on November 27, 2007, raising the total number of Xbox games compatible with the Xbox 360 to 478. Approximately 51% of the original Xbox library is now compatible with the Xbox 360 (as of the November 27, 2007 update).
