MIcrosoft will announce the first 100 Xbox 360 games that will be supported by the Xbox One’s upcoming backwards compatibility early next week.

Xbox head Phil Spencer revealed the upcoming announcement on Twitter, where he responded to a fan question asking for a list of 360 games that will be supported on the Xbox One.

Next week’s reveal should calm the nerves of Xbox 360 owners who have been on the fence on whether or not they should pick up an Xbox One this holiday season. Considering how vast the Xbox 360 library is, 100 games doesn’t seem like a lot of games, but we’re hopeful Microsoft will show priority to more popular games than obscure releases.

  So, in theory, will all compatible games be available to purchase digitally as well?
  
  I'm hoping Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon, and Lost Odyssey get in there at some point. It'd go a long way towards getting me on board with the system.

    I'd rebuy a few games like RDR, PGR4 and other that it's always nice to jump back into for a bit.

  I'm really hoping Dark Souls is on the list. I got it off games with gold a while back, but haven't played it as my 360 is no longer hooked up. I want to pop my Dark Souls cherry.
