Polygon reports that the full list of titles being optimised is as follows:

N.O.V.A. 3: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour Ice Age Village, Asphalt 7: Heat, The Dark Knight Rises, Shark Dash, The Amazing Spider-Man, UNO & Friends, Order & Chaos Online, Fashion Icon, Poker for Prizes and Real Soccer 2013.

Some of the releases will include Microsoft's cloud feature 'Play-Pause-Resume', which allows users to pause their game, and then play it again from where they left off on another compatible device.
