Back in July, Microsoft initially floated the idea with just four Xbox games, so 25 is progress, and Microsoft says all of those games are now playable with a keyboard and mouse.
Additionally, Microsoft says it’s adding achievements to original Xbox games for the first time, starting with four games: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, Blinx: the time sweeperAnd Conker: Live and Reloaded. You can also unlock achievements by playing them on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, after a system update. Other games should have them in the future.
Here’s the full list of Xbox games on PC, with the 21 new additions in bold:
Yes, it’s a lot Star Wars games, most of which already have a PC version, and a few games that were exclusive to Xbox at the time. (But many of them Star Wars the games were excellent.)
You won’t be able to use an original Xbox disc to play these games either, I’m afraid, because original Xbox (and Xbox 360) discs are not part of Microsoft’s disc-to-digital program; they predate the unique serial number that Microsoft put into Xbox One discs. In case you’re wondering, Xbox backwards compatibility on PC appears to be powered by an emulator.
Additionally, according to Microsoft, most new games are currently not included in Xbox Game Pass; just Blinx, Conker, Crimson Skies, Fusion Frenzy, Morrowind, And Caught by the Ghoulies.
