Saints Row 2 now playable on Xbox One

Almost a decade after its initial release.

Are you going to re-visit Saints Row 2 on Xbox One?

Saints Row 2 remains one of the funniest games of the last console generation and offered a co-op campaign as well as a complete disrespect for anything to do with good taste. We loved it and created all sorts of mischief and mayhem as well as achieving a ridiculously impressive high score in the mini-game "Septic Avenger".

Now all this can be experienced again as Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb has tweeted that Saints Row 2 is now backwards compatible with Xbox One. The full list of Xbox and Xbox 360 games that works on Xbox One can be found over here.
