25 Original XBOX Games Available Today on PC via XBOX Backward Compatibility
The XBOX Backward Compatibility on PC library has grown to 25 original XBOX games, with 21 more becoming available in supported countries today. The update also adds achievements for four original XBOX games, mouse and keyboard support across the full library, and performance and stability improvements for the first four PC releases.
The 21 newly available games
The 21 additional games available to players in supported countries starting today include Armed and Dangerous, Disney’s Chicken Little, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb, Red Faction II, and Secret Weapons Over Normandy.
The 21 newly available games include Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, Star Wars: Republic Commando, Star Wars: Starfighter – Special Edition, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Rounding out the new arrivals are Thrillville, TimeSplitters 2, and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.
The first four PC releases
The 21 new games join BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and Fuzion Frenzy, the four original XBOX games previously made available on PC.
The first four arrived earlier this year and were made available on handhelds such as the ROG XBOX Ally family for the first time. XBOX says it has since improved their performance and stability, while every game in the PC library now supports mouse and keyboard. More original XBOX games are planned for PC in the future.
Achievements arrive for four classics
Players can now earn achievements in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded. XBOX says it worked with each game’s developers and publishers to design achievements that fit the spirit of the title, with more games planned to receive them over time.
These achievements also work on XBOX One and XBOX Series consoles. The latest system update is needed, and in some cases achievements may unlock based on progress already made in the games.
Access to the PC versions requires Windows 11 and a download, with availability limited to select markets. A game purchase or XBOX Game Pass subscription may be required, and specific features can vary by game.
