Later today Halo Wars will become backwards compatible and show us as ‘ready to install’ for those enrolled in the Xbox One Preview program, no dates mentioned on when it will roll out to everyone. Sounds like they want to do a little testing before it gets a full release.
It will only show up if you have the game on digital, if you have a physical copy and your in the preview program you will need to insert the disc.
On a other note, the game plays fantastic and just how I remember it, you get the FPS drop when there is a huge battle taking place but other than that it is 100% amazing already but around 6 hours into it since it became available again!
