Microsoft has announced a boatload of original Xbox games will be joining the Xbox One’s backwards compatibility lineup, including critically acclaimed fantasy role-playing game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

The format holder will be releasing a whopping 19 Xbox titles throughout this month, which will be released in two batches. The first will roll out on April 17, and includes Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Breakdown, Conker: Live & Reloaded, Morrowind, Hunter: The Reckoning, Jade Empire, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and SSX 3. 

April 26 meanwhile will see another round of Xbox goodies released, featuring Destroy All Humans, Full Spectrum Warrior, Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, MX Unleashed, Panzer Elite Action: Fields of Glory, Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Wars Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Star Wars Republic Commando.

Better start digging around for those old Xbox discs then, eh? Failing that, you can purchase them from the Xbox Store if you don’t own the games. 

If that wasn’t enough, Microsoft is also buffing a number of Xbox 360 games with Xbox One X support, including Darksiders, Gears of War 2, Sonic Generations, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Portal 2, and Red Dead Redemption. 

All in all, April’s lineup is probably one of the strongest we’ve seen in a while, so go crazy.
