Dark Souls backward compatibility for Xbox One confirmed

Microsoft's Xbox Store was updated today, confirming yesterday's leak that Dark Souls will be coming to Xbox One via backward compatibility.

Furthermore, it confirms that if you pre-order a digital version of Dark Souls 3 on the Xbox Store, you'll get a digital version of the original Dark Souls for free, playable on Xbox One.

Here's the official messaging:

"For a limited time, purchase a digital pre-order of DARK SOULS™ III on the Xbox One Store and get the original Dark Souls playable on Xbox One. The code for Dark Souls will be delivered to your Xbox message center in 7-10 days. You can redeem the code on your Xbox One console or at xbox.com/redeemcode."

There are currently two different editions of Dark Souls 3 available on the store. You can purchase the standard edition for $59.99 or the Deluxe Edition for $84.99; either version appears to come with a free digital copy of Dark Souls for Xbox One.

Dark Souls 3 is set to release on March 24, 2016 in Japan and on April 12, 2016 globally.
