Xbox is marking its 25th anniversary by digging deep into its first console's library. In a post on Xbox Wire, Jason Ronald, VP of Next Generation, announced that 21 more original Xbox games are available on PC through backward compatibility starting today, bringing the library to 25 games.
Star Wars fans get the biggest haul — 11 of the 21 additions:
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront II
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
Star Wars: Starfighter – Special Edition
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The rest of the wave covers 10 more games:
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
TimeSplitters 2
TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
Red Faction II
Armed and Dangerous
Secret Weapons Over Normandy
Grabbed by the Ghoulies
Disney's Chicken Little
Thrillville
Morrowind and Grabbed by the Ghoulies are also available with Xbox Game Pass.
The 21 games join the first four that arrived earlier this year — Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy, which brought original Xbox games to PC and handhelds such as the ROG Xbox Ally family for the first time. Those four have received performance and stability improvements, and every game in the library now supports mouse and keyboard.
Xbox is also adding achievements to original Xbox games for the first time. Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, Blinx: The Time Sweeper and Conker: Live and Reloaded support them starting today, with the achievements also applying on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles after the latest system update — and in some cases unlocking from progress players have already made. Xbox worked with each game's original developers and publishers on the achievement designs and plans to bring them to more titles over time.
"The games you've played are part of your history with Xbox," Ronald wrote. The 25 games are available now on PC in supported markets and require Windows 11, and Xbox says even more original Xbox games will come to PC in the future.
