It is the successor to the Midway Arcade Treasures series, and includes a selection of games that were included in those compilations, with the sole exception of Vindicators Part II. Midway Arcade Origins was added to the Xbox One via the backwards compatibility program. The compilation was published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, which had acquired the old arcade games following Midway Games's bankruptcy.
