Yesterday, we highlighted that over 10 games had mysteriously been added to the old Xbox 360 marketplace with dates ranging from November 10th to November 15th, and another has been spotted in the form of Max Payne 3.
This time though, it's located on the Saudi Arabian version of the Xbox 360 marketplace, and again has a release date of November 10th, 2021. This has been highlighted across social media, as you can see below:

There have been a few updates since the initial story yesterday, with many of the titles getting price info and becoming technically available to purchase on the store, although True Achievements is reporting they can't be downloaded yet.
Again, there's no guarantee that Max Payne 3 or any of the previously mentioned titles will be getting backwards compatibility anytime soon, but it definitely seems curious that Microsoft is suddenly adding a bunch of old titles.
Do you think Max Payne will be getting the backwards compatibility treatment? Give us your thoughts below.

This has been sat on my self waiting...
Now if they could just renable the servers so I can actually finish the 1k that would be greeeat. Pointless making games bc that have recently had most modes turned off.
NFS Underground please!
Max Payne 3 and ThrillVille would be perfect for me maybe the original overlord too and i would be happy as a claim
Sob.. why do this right after the multiplayer servers were closed...
HELLS TO THE MUTHAFCUKIN YEAH!!..
..if true
@MyThoughts31 I was about to say the same. They've recently shut the servers for the PS3 and there was a big rush for folks trying to Plat that.
Max Payne trilogy= day 1 buy for me.
I was just thinking about this game two days ago. I thought it was excellent, in my opinion Rockstar’s best shooter. Even if it did steal it’s story from “Man on Fire”.
I like how the more you die the more painkiller bottles you get. Even on easy this game was challenging. I imagine it'll come to gamepass on the Xbox anniversary
I hope this is true as it's one game I missed and wanted to play via backwards compatibility.
Well it's about time!
The last and definitely best Max Payne game - It deserves to be kept and if possible, enhanced via BC as the game looked stunning for its time and an an up-res would definitely be appreciated - especially with the boosted Anisotropic Filtering and (hopefully) Auto HDR on top. An upgrade to 60fps would be nice too of course but a locked 30fps is still worth playing.
The issue is most likely the MP...
Let's hope it's true a trilogy remaster would be amazing too 🤞
I got the collections edition with statue for a tenner and still have the game sealed.
This would be up there with my number one pick for next…. I hope it’s true.
It’s a great list if all those turn out to be true.
@gollumb82 let’s hope they don’t outsource to gangrene street games…
@Stocksy
Indeed. However, I believe those will just be ports without any additional fireworks so I hope there's nothing to mess up here.
@TopG82 That would be nice. I've never played any of these.
I'm surprised it hasn't been added yet, hopefully gets added with upgrades for SX. They need to add Riddick too already.
