Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Now Backwards Compatible on Xbox One

Over the past few months, Microsoft has been working towards cultivating a catalog of Xbox 360 games that are compatible on Xbox One. Skullgirls and Soulcalibur were added earlier this year, and now Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has joined its genre siblings in the growing list.

As the first Tekken installment in four years when it launched in 2012, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 shouldered a ton of responsibility. Its whirldwind tour through the fighting game community featured stops at majors across the world, including two impressive showings at the Evolution Championship Series.

A full list of backwards compatible games can be found here, and Microsoft is still looking for feedback from fans on which titles should be added to the catalog on their official forums.
