Next up is "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light," a spin-off game from the storied "Tomb Raider" franchise. Developed by Crystal Dynamics and released in 2010 for the Xbox 360, the game follows the titular Lara Croft in Central America as she puts a stop to Xolotl, the Keeper of Darkness, who was unknowingly released from his container.

Finally, there's "Brave," the video game adaptation of the Disney animated film of the same name. Developed by Disney Interactive Studios and released in 2012 for the Xbox 360, the game follows the princess Mérida in her quest to return her mother back to human form after she turned her into a black bear.

As always, those who previously owned a physical copy of any of these titles can simply pop the disc into their Xbox One to start playing. On the other hand, those who owned them digitally will automatically see them in the Ready to Download area of the My Games and Apps section.

Players can also purchase the games from the Xbox Store although unlike previous titles added to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility program, they are not included in the latest selection of Xbox game deals.
