XBOX Adds 21 More Original XBOX Games to PC

The XBOX Backward Compatibility on PC library grew from four games to 25 today, with XBOX adding 21 more original XBOX titles as part of its 25th anniversary. The program debuted in July with four games, and XBOX says it has since improved performance and stability for those four, with every game in the library now supporting mouse and keyboard. All 25 are playable on Windows 11 PCs and supported handhelds such as the ROG XBOX Ally family in supported countries, though a game purchase or Game Pass subscription may be required. XBOX also plans to bring even more original XBOX games to PC in the future.

More than half of today’s additions are Star Wars games, 11 in total, including Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, both Battlefront games, and Star Wars: Republic Commando. The rest of the list includes The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, TimeSplitters 2, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, and Red Faction II. Morrowind and Grabbed by the Ghoulies are also available with XBOX Game Pass, as are all four of the games that launched with the program in July.

XBOX is also adding achievements to original XBOX games for the first time, starting with both Knights of the Old Republic games, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded. When the program launched in July, XBOX said all four of the original PC games would get achievements, so Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy are still waiting on theirs. The achievements also apply when playing these games on XBOX One and XBOX Series X|S after installing the latest system update, and XBOX says some may unlock based on progress players have already made. XBOX worked with each game’s developers and publishers on the achievement lists and plans to add them to more original XBOX games over time. The company has also been expanding its achievement system in other ways, including the Mythic Achievements it began testing with Insiders in September.

Here are the 21 original XBOX games that were added to the PC library today:

• Armed and Dangerous
