We know that new backwards compatible 360 games for Xbox One are coming at a monthly rate right now, but we've heard nothing of January's batch so far. That's why one intrepid Twitter user took the matter into their own hands, asking Xbox boss, Phil Spencer, when we might hear something. His answer: "not too much longer".

@HiddenStryder Have a couple more games doing the final run through on, wanted to wait until we had the full list, not too much longer.January 14, 2016

December's batch arrived on the same day it was announced, so we can probably expect the list and some new games to come as a package deal. Will this be the month that number one most requested game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 stretches a kevlar-coated hand across the generations?

If you're looking for something old to play right now, make sure to check out our Backwards Compatible Game of the Week, Beyond Good and Evil HD.
