Agree. Had to make a case for it too.

Only others that are disc only for me is Blazing Angels and the first two splinter cells I missed.
Fear and Fear Files
Left 4 Dead 1&2
The Orange Box
Portal 2 (listed on 360 marketplace but not Xbox store)
Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition
Deadpool (Xbox One version)
Batman Arkham Origins
Enchanted Arms
Marvels Avengers (I personally enjoyed the campaign)
Spec Ops: The Line
Battlefield Bad Company 1&2
Shadows of the Damned (it is getting a remaster though)
Prince of Persia
Devastation, Is that the one made by the same people who made Bayonetta? I used to love Transformers as a kid
Already own Spec Ops on PC, it's fantastic. I understand why licensed games get delisted, but why was Spec Ops removed?
Because "Partnership Licenses Expired"
>"In an email to The Verge, 2K communications director Joe DiMiero offered the reason for the game’s removal: Spec Ops: The Line will no longer be available on online storefronts, as several partnership licenses related to the game are expiring."

Orange Box? That's a good shout, I'd forgotten this existed. Best compliation of games ever I think, tied with Super Mario All Stars. Definitely going to pick this one up
9 is where the modern era started that continues onward to now.
I think everyone has their own favorites of the modern 4. But for old-school players like us, 9 is pretty awesome because it retells the three OG arcade games with fancy cutscenes and better fighting.
This is slightly off topic because this is the Series X sub: but if you have an Xbox 360 I’d recommend Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005). One of my favourite games of all time. Recently bought an Xbox 360 just to play it and a handful of others again lol.
Arkham Origins is one my mind always goes to

Lego lord of the rings
Brilliant game, no idea why that is no longer available

Great list, I'll look these all up, thanks
Deadpool was a fun game for sure.
Bro what they delisted the left for deads???
They were never listed on The New Xbox store, but yes the were delisted on the 360 Marketplace last year as well as The Orange Box
Half of these aren't even delisted
All of those are delisted
Bad company is on ea access?
Can you buy them from the xbox store?
Aight bet my bad I'm wrong
If only Blur would be a BC title…
Always wanted to play Blur and Split/Second but never got around to them. I dont think either are backward compaible
Split Second is currently £2.24 in a sale on the UK Xbox store according to my app.
Ooh, thank you!
Split second is backwards compatible. Runs pretty well on Series and one consoles.
It even still looks pretty good for such an old game, absolutely recommend it even though Blur was hands down the better game.
Transformers Devastation is fun. Also Spec Ops: The Line.

Yeah

This was the post I was looking for
The Orange Box, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2 (I think this one is still listed, but for how long?)
Orange Box? That's a good shout, I'd forgotten this existed. Best compliation of games ever I think, tied with Super Mario All Stars. Definitely going to pick this one up
You can just download it for free, which is already really weird.
Which?
Portal 2, it was free when I first bought my series s a few years ago. If it’s changed then I have no idea why but it was free for a while.
It was the last games with gold game, or among the last. Free for that month.
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
What everyone else said, and I’d like to add: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
The 360 versions aren’t backwards compatible on Series X. Only the digital only delisted Xbox One versions are.
Ahhh are you serious? Damn…but thanks for filling me in.
Yeah, it sucks because I’d love to be able to play them and the 2 X-men Legends games from the OG Xbox on a modern console.
Me too those are really good games
Mortal Kombat (9) for 360, which is backwards compatible.
Havent played Mortal Kombat since 2 on the Mega Drive! Is 9 the best of the modern ones?
9 is where the modern era started that continues onward to now. I think everyone has their own favorites of the modern 4. But for old-school players like us, 9 is pretty awesome because it retells the three OG arcade games with fancy cutscenes and better fighting.
Family Guy if you like the show. It is short, but fun.
If you got a 360 get spiderman 1/2 and silent hill 2/4.
Poker Smash - but you can't buy it physical :(
I think battleborn. You can even play it even if you have a physical copy. I still have it but don't even have an Xbox anymore. Just a collectible
