Original Xbox games on PC: full list of all 25

Microsoft has added 21 more original Xbox games to Windows PCs, bringing its Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC library to 25 games. The update went live on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as part of Xbox's 25th anniversary week; the first Xbox console launched on November 15, 2001.

The new batch leans heavily on Star Wars, including both Knights of the Old Republic games, but also brings The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, TimeSplitters 2 and Red Faction II. For the first time ever, four original Xbox games also have achievements. Here is the full list, what it costs, what your PC needs and what still is not supported.

All 25 original Xbox games you can play on PC

According to Microsoft's announcement on Xbox Wire, these 21 games are new today, available in supported countries:

Armed and Dangerous; Disney's Chicken Little; The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind; Grabbed by the Ghoulies; Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb; Red Faction II; Secret Weapons Over Normandy; Star Wars Battlefront; Star Wars Battlefront II; Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith; Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy; Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast; Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter; Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic; Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords; Star Wars: Republic Commando; Star Wars: Starfighter - Special Edition; Star Wars: The Clone Wars; Thrillville; TimeSplitters 2; and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.

They join the four games that launched the program in July: BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy. Microsoft says it has also improved performance and stability for those first four, and that every game in the library now supports mouse and keyboard.

Microsoft says it will bring "even more original XBOX games to PC in the future", but it has not named the next titles or given a date.

Original Xbox achievements arrive for the first time

Original Xbox games have never had achievements, because the system only arrived with the Xbox 360 in 2005. Starting today, you can earn them in four games: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper and Conker: Live and Reloaded.

The achievements are not PC-only. Microsoft says they also work when you play these games on Xbox One and Xbox Series X or S consoles, as long as you install the latest system update. In some cases, achievements may unlock automatically based on progress you have already made. Microsoft says it designed them with each game's developers and publishers and plans to add achievements to more original Xbox games over time.

Which ones are in Game Pass, and what do they cost?

Only six of the 25 games are included with Xbox Game Pass: BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, Fuzion Frenzy, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Grabbed by the Ghoulies. The rest must be bought as digital copies.

Microsoft's announcement does not list prices, and store prices vary by country, so check the game's page in the Xbox app before you buy. Microsoft's fine print says a game purchase or Game Pass subscription may be required and that the feature is available in select markets only.

If you already own a digital copy of one of these games on Xbox, you may not need to pay again. When the program launched in July, Microsoft said a console digital license carries over to your PC or handheld through Xbox Play Anywhere. Discs are a different story: The Verge notes that original Xbox discs are not part of Microsoft's disc-to-digital program, so an old disc will not unlock the PC version.

What you need to play original Xbox games on PC

The games run through the Xbox app on Windows 11, and each one is a separate download. They also work on Windows handhelds such as the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X. These are the minimum requirements Microsoft published in July:

Graphics: Nvidia GTX 950, AMD Radeon RX 550 or Intel Arc A310, with 4 GB of video memory. Processor: 4 cores and 8 threads, such as an Intel Core i3-10300, AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or AMD Ryzen Z2 A. Memory: 8 GB of RAM. System: Windows 11 with up-to-date drivers.

For the recommended setup, Microsoft lists an Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 6800S or Intel Arc A770 with 8 GB of video memory, a 6-core, 12-thread processor such as an Intel Core i5-10400, AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, and 16 GB of RAM.

Once a game is running, you get options the original console never had, including up to 4x resolution upscaling, VSync, fullscreen and windowed modes, anisotropic filtering, better anti-aliasing and adjustable language and audio settings, according to Microsoft. Specific features vary by game.

Why so many Star Wars games, and what comes next

Most of the new games are Star Wars titles, and as The Verge points out, many of them already had PC versions, while only a few were Xbox exclusives at the time. The appeal here is getting the Xbox versions, with achievements and modern display options, through one app on PC and handhelds.

Many fans were hoping for other games. Windows Central notes that Microsoft's game preservation voting site has tens of thousands of votes for titles that were not part of this batch. Microsoft has also not said when Xbox 360 games will get the same treatment on PC. The Verge reports that leaked Microsoft documents pointed to a gradual Xbox 360 rollout between 2027 and 2028, but Microsoft has not confirmed that.

Should you jump in?

If you have a Windows 11 PC or an Xbox Ally handheld and Game Pass, there is nothing to lose: six of the 25 games are already included, including Morrowind, and they now work with mouse and keyboard. Achievement hunters on Xbox consoles should install the latest system update and fire up Knights of the Old Republic, Blinx or Conker, since past progress may count.

If you are not on Game Pass, check whether you already own a digital copy on Xbox before buying again, and compare prices in your region. For classics such as Knights of the Old Republic, the main reason to pick the Xbox version is achievements and cross-device play rather than a new way to experience the game.
