Microsoft has announced the availability of 21 additional original Xbox games on PC via Xbox backward compatibility, bringing the total number of supported titles to 25. This expansion is part of the company’s celebration of 25 years of Xbox and introduces achievements for four classic games for the first time.
The newly supported games join the first four original Xbox titles that launched on PC earlier this year, which already supported mouse and keyboard input and received updates to enhance performance and stability. Players in supported regions can now access this enlarged library starting immediately, provided they have Windows 11 installed.
New and Updated Original Xbox Games Arrive on PC
The 21 games just added encompass a range of well-known franchises including several Star Wars titles such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I and II, Star Wars Jedi Knight series, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and Star Wars Battlefront I and II. Other notable entries include The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb, TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect, and Disney’s Chicken Little.
These titles join the four original Xbox games previously available on PC: BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and Fuzion Frenzy. Several of these games are also available through Xbox Game Pass, providing subscribers with additional means of access.
Achievements Introduced on Original Xbox Games Across Platforms
In addition to expanding the library, Microsoft has implemented achievements for the first time in select original Xbox games including Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded. These achievements are accessible both on PC and on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles following the latest system update.
Microsoft worked with the original developers and publishers to ensure that the new achievements are faithful to each game’s spirit. Some achievements may unlock retroactively based on existing player progress. The company has also indicated plans to add achievements to more original Xbox games over time.
This initiative reflects Microsoft’s broader backward compatibility efforts aimed at preserving Xbox gaming history and enabling players to access classic titles across PC and Xbox platforms.
The expanded library and achievement support require Windows 11 and are available in select markets. Access to some games may require purchase or an active Xbox Game Pass subscription.
