"At Xbox, we believe that gaming is universal and should be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere. Our philosophy since launching Xbox One two years ago has been to put gamers at the center of everything we do and create the best, most seamless gaming experience possible. We're taking a major step forward in that journey on November 12 when we start rolling out the New Xbox One Experience with Xbox One Backward Compatibility, Mike Ybarra, Director of Program Management for Xbox wrote on the Xbox 360 titles announcement.
There are a total of 104 Xbox 360 titles playable for the Xbox One consoles which started to roll out Thursday. You may see the complete list of titles here.
As part of the New Xbox One Experience, the update removes Kinect Gesture dashboard support, "because people barely used it at all," Gamespot reported.
"On gestures, when we looked at the New Xbox One Experience, we wanted to prioritize features that customers were asking for, plus areas of improvement from the existing Xbox One UI. Then, we wanted to look at the use-case model of features that take a lot of investment and say, 'Is it worth continuing to invest in that area," Ybarra told WindowsCentral, according to Gamespot.
Meanwhile, a Microsoft representative further explained the cause of Kinect Gesture support removal through the update and will still be available on "Kinect-enabled games, biometric sing-in, and video calls with Skype for Xbox One."
"Gesture controls for navigating the dashboard were removed to focus on fan-requested features resulting in a faster and more social Xbox One experience. Microsoft representative said to Gamespot.
