Remember how when Microsoft gave its first list of over 100 titles that we were quite happy to see Wolfenstein 3d as part of the list? Of course for many of us, that turned to disappointment when we learned that the Bethesda version was cleared for backwards compatibility since that’s where the license lay and not the Activision version which many of us bought a while back. Microsoft did put out a statement shortly after many people complained and said they were working on both versions for backwards compatibility. They just had to get Activision to agree and last night I saw it in my ready to install list. I don’t know if it happened yesterday, but it happened no more than a week ago I’m certain. So good turnout there and again proof that if Microsoft says they are working on a game for BC, it’s not lip service. Enjoy.
04/01/2016 Edit – Just a note, even though you bought the license to the Activision version, players will actually download the Bethesda version which means a couple of things. 1)You can earn the achievements all over again for more gamer score. 2)If you had a save file in the cloud for the Activision version, it won’t translate over. It sounds like, and I could be wrong but basically Microsoft went to Bethesda and asked if they minded if all of the people who d/led the Activision version once upon a time could automatically get the Bethesda version on their X1. They agreed (perhaps money or favors changed hands) and the situation is fixed. I seriously doubt Activision had any part in it.
