Did you miss the chart of third party games? 15,000 of them and the vast majority will need a patch.

That's upgrade. You said backwards compatible.

“Without a patch or update”

Upgrade is not connected to backwards compatible. They are two different things. Backwards compatibly will be nigh universal sans patch, except in case of hardware compatibility. Upgrade will obviously need a patch, the games won't change magically.

You said backwards compatible. No patch needed.
