Xbox One owners who have been waiting for the inclusion of "Call of Duty: Black Ops" in its backwards compatible games list must have been glad to learn about this, but a number of questions continue to arise.

On Tuesday, Xbox's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb announced on Twitter the availability of the highly-requested title via the gaming console's backwards compatibility feature.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops is now available on Xbox One Backward Compatibility," he wrote along with a snap of the game's cover layout.

As a game which many gamers have been looking forward to for months now, several questions have been raised. Thus, Hryb posted on his blog site an entry that explains many things about Xbox One backwards compatibility function and its compatible games.

Relative to the question "What date is (insert title here) coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility?" he had this to say, "Unless it is on the list of current titles that are BC (at the top of this page) I can't say. No hints will be given."

When it comes to those who have been clamouring for certain game titles that must be included in the Microsoft console's games list, Hryb pointed out that "If you want an Xbox 360 game to be played on Xbox One via backward compatibility, you should contact the game publisher."

When asked to give hints when particular titles are arriving to Xbox One backwards compatible games list, the Xbox executive felt sorry that he cannot just give out such info.

"I cannot. Sorry," he responded. "I'll tweet out when we update the list of games that are backward compatible."

Keep posted for more updates of the Xbox One backwards compatible games list! Who knows, "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" would be available as well soon enough!
