Lego The Lord of Rings backwards compatibility on Xbox One in 2020?

SnopXONEGamer12 · May 4, 2020

Lego LOTR is back to the Steam and probably back to Microsoft Store. So is there a chance for Microsoft to make backwards compatibility? Also i want Forza Motorsport 2 backwards compatibility, who's with me?

Lego Lord of the Rings is backward compatible. It was one of the last batch of games to be made backward compatible. As for Need For Speed Carbon, that isn't compatible, and won't be ever backward compatible either. As Smwutches stated, the backward compatible program has ended, so no more games are being added.

This isn't incorrect.

The Publishers/Developers did pull those games from stores but have since renewed their license, these games are currently for sale again and can be bought on Steam, both Lego The Lord of the Rings and Lego The Hobbit.

Lego The Hobbit has also returned to the Microsoft store for Xbox One and Playstation Store for PS4, but Lego The Lord of the Rings has not returned to either store.

It's not unreasonable to ask for its return as its currently the only core Lego title that isn't backwards compatible, excluding Lego Rock Band which requires external peripherals.

Hi Fellow gamer,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you have suggestions for the backward compatible program. Currently the program is on hold. Suggestions have been stopped for almost a year now. You can reach out to the developers as they are the ones
who make the decision to allow the game to be backward compatible.

Thanks,

Brad

Like Brad mentioned, the Backwards Compatibility team are currently focused on ensuring games run smoothly on the new Xbox Series X. As a result, they have no plans to make any more games backwards compatible, at least for the time being.
