    "We asked The Coalition's studio technical director, Mike Rayner, whether any optimisation or conversion was required in bundling prior Gears of War titles into the Ultimate Edition".

    "It is essentially the exact same code," Rayner replied. "The Xbox team converts the 360 game and 360 flash PPC executables into native x64 executables, packages those up with the 360 game assets, 360 flash and emulator as a regular Xbox One game, and
    publishes it."

    So this is why there are only 104 titles on the backwards compatibility list. It's because they have only recompiled 104 games so far. Also, the fact that the games have been recompiled gives the very good chance of improved performance over time with
    updates.

    :)

    Is it safe to assume that Microsoft will not add backwards-compatibility for regular XBox games (not 360)?

    Hi, note that many factors go into determining what games become backward compatible, such as fan demand, publisher involvement and schedule, and licensing information. My strongest recommendation would be to reach out to the publisher of the game and let
    them know you are interested in seeing it become backward compatible. For more information on backward compatibility, I'd refer you to the following article: https://majornelson.com/blog/xbox-one-backward-compatibility/

    So you want a PS4? Maybe the Xbox One has a secret weapon...

    I found the fifth and sixth paragraphs of this Eurogamer article interesting regarding the memory difference between the PS4 and Xbox One:
