The list of Xbox One backwards compatible games continues to grow with the recent discovery of new EA titles that have appeared in recent searches on Amazon.

Although there has so far been no confirmation yet from either Microsoft or Amazon regarding the "leaked" EA games, there may be reason to believe that these titles are being lined up for the backwards compatibility feature, reported the Express.

What is interesting though is that these titles have been, or will be, released as Xbox 360 digital codes.

According to the Express, that there seems to be no other reason to sell the titles "unless there is a larger, more active audience that would be interested to purchase them."

Aside from the five EA games that have been discovered on Amazon, it is expected that another highly-popular title, "Skate 3," will be added to the list Xbox One backwards compatible games.

Similar to "Call of Duty: Black Ops," "Skate 3" is among a selected number of Xbox 360 classics, which Microsoft promised to release via the Xbox One backwards compatibility update way back in 2015.

Skate 3 has garnered over 30,000 votes on Microsoft's official feedback page, placing it a far second behind top choice "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2."

In fact, "Skate 3" has reportedly been re-rated by Korea's Game Rating Board.

The request for re-rating was filed on May 18 and approved on May 27.

This is definitely good news for Xbox One gamers, as this development suggests that "Skate 3" will be released before E3, where it is likewise expected that bigger games will be announced for the expanding backwards compatible program.

In the meantime, Microsoft has already set varying release dates for other Xbox 360 games from EA, which are scheduled to be rolled out in June, while the rest as set to be launched during E3.

So far, new digital game codes for the following titles have been released: "Dragon Age II," "Fight Night Round 4," "Burnout Revenge," "Fable Anniversary" and "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit."

Last week also saw the addition of seven new games to the growing list of Xbox One backward compatible games, which include "XCOM: Enemy Unknown," "DuckTales: Remastered," "Hexic 2," "Magic 2012," "Domino Master," "Unbound Saga" and "SSX."
