Microsoft has recently added five more games to its growing collection of Xbox One backwards compatible titles this week.

Platinum Games' third-person action game "Bayonetta" makes it to the list this week. "Bayonetta" was created by game legend Hideki Kamiya and was originally released for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in October 2009 in Japan, with the North American and European versions released three months later.

Two of Taito's arcade titles "ARKANOID Live!" and "QIX++" also made it to the list, joining other arcade titles such as "Bejeweled 3," "Gatling Gears" and "Deathspank T.O.V," which were all added just last week.

Platform-puzzle game "de Blob 2" is also added to the Xbox One backwards compatibility list. Developed by the now defunct Blue Tongue Entertainment, the game was released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii in 2011. Its predecessor was released exclusively for Wii.

Microsoft also added fantasy action RPG "Of Orcs and Men" to the list, however, the game is not made available in all regions, including North America, according to Gamespot.

As for the most requested Xbox One Backwards Compatible titles, "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" still holds the crown, with over 190,000 fans requesting for the game to be added to the list.

Microsoft has added "Call of Duty 2" to the list in August, joining the already added "Call of Duty: Black Ops," which was added in May. To fans, this may be a sign that more "Call of Duty" titles will be making its way to the list soon.

As of this writing, five out of the top ten spots are still occupied by "Call of Duty" titles, namely "Call of Duty: Black Ops II," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and "Call of Duty: World at War."

Stay tuned for more Xbox One backwards compatibility news.
