Some Xbox gamers have begun spotting newly designed box artwork for Xbox 360 video games that have been added to the Xbox One backwards compatibility library. This new-look packaging appears almost identical to the regularXbox Onevideo game cases but also boasts “Xbox 360” next to “Xbox One” at the top on the green stripe. Here are some photos taken by a user, originallyposted on Reddit.

This is a rather clever idea on Microsoft’s part as these new packages are designed to draw theattention of Xbox One ownerswho would usually overlookXbox 360 video games in storesand is a good reminder that the Xbox One console can now play a rather large number of titles from the previous console generation. The fact that there even is a new design also suggests that Microsoft plans on manufacturing Xbox 360 games for the foreseeable future. How long this will last though is anyone’s guess. It’s also entirely possible that these cases are new but only being made to clear inventory of unsold Xbox 360 games. Let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
