Trials HD and Lego Batman added to Xbox One backwards compatibility

Along with Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space.

Four new Xbox 360 titles have been added to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility library.

They include: Trials HD, Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, and Lego Batman.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare briefly popped up under the backwards compatibility download list on Monday along with Red Dead Redemption, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Left 4 Dead 2, Halo Wars, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. While those other titles have yet to surface, it suggests they'll be following shortly.

As with all backwards compatible Xbox 360 games, you get all the perks of an Xbox One title like Game DVR, screenshots and Windows 10 streaming. And if you upload your game data to the cloud, your saves will carry over.
