25 Original Xbox Games Now Playable on PC
25 original Xbox games, including Star Wars titles, are now playable on PC.
If you've been holding onto memories of the original Xbox era, there's something worth your attention: twenty-one additional games from that generation are now available on PC through Xbox Backward Compatibility, bringing the total library to twenty-five titles.
The expanded collection spans a wide range of what made that console special. You'll find action games like Conker: Live and Reloaded and BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, the TimeSplitters series, and a substantial slate of Star Wars games—everything from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords to Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and the Star Wars Battlefront games. There's also The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, Armed and Dangerous, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Red Faction II, Secret Weapons Over Normandy, Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Starfighter – Special Edition, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Thrillville, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, Fuzion Frenzy, and Disney's Chicken Little.
Achievements have been added to select titles: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, BLiNX, and Conker: Live and Reloaded now support them, with more planned down the line. The first four games in the collection have also received performance and stability improvements, which matters when you're revisiting something from over two decades ago.
All twenty-five games now support mouse and keyboard controls, which is a practical touch for playing on PC. The games are available in select markets and require Windows 11, so you'll want to check compatibility on your end.
Xbox has been steadily bringing original Xbox games to PC over time, and this batch represents meaningful progress. If you've been waiting for a particular title to show up, it might be worth checking the full list. For anyone who spent formative gaming hours with these games, having them available and playable on modern hardware is a nice bit of preservation.
