Xbox has added 21 original Xbox games to its PC backward compatibility library, bringing the total number of supported titles to 25. The announcement coincides with the 25th anniversary of Xbox.
The 21 newly added games are available to players in supported countries starting November 12, 2026:
These join the four games already available on PC: BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and Fuzion Frenzy. All four of those earlier titles are also available with XBOX Game Pass.
Xbox is introducing achievements for four original Xbox 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 achievement addition also applies when playing these games on XBOX One and XBOX Series consoles. Players need to take the latest system update to start earning them, and in some cases, achievements may unlock based on progress already made.
Xbox says it worked closely with each game’s developers and publishers to design the achievements and plans to bring achievements to more original Xbox games over time.
Every game in the library now supports mouse and keyboard, and Xbox has improved performance and stability for the first four games. The feature requires Windows 11, and specific features vary by game. A download is required, and the program is available in select markets only. Game purchase or Game Pass subscription may be required.
The expansion grows the PC backward compatibility library from four to 25 titles, giving PC players access to classic Xbox games, including 11 Star Wars titles in the new batch. The addition of achievements and mouse and keyboard support brings the older games closer to modern PC standards.
