Xbox has dusted off another 21 original Xbox games for PC, so classics like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and TimeSplitters 2 can now be played on a Windows 11 machine or handheld.
Announced on Xbox Wire by Jason Ronald, Xbox's VP of next generation, on November 12, the new batch takes the Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC library to 25 games, neatly timed for the original console's 25th anniversary. Xbox says every game in the line-up now supports mouse and keyboard, and the four games that were already there (BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy) have had performance and stability improvements too.
A long time ago, on a console far, far away
It's a very Star Wars-heavy list, with 11 of the 21 new arrivals coming from a galaxy far, far away, alongside a handful of cult favourites that haven't had an easy official way to play on PC in years. Here's the full batch:
| Game | Also with Game Pass |
| Armed and Dangerous | No |
| Disney's Chicken Little | No |
| The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind | Yes |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies | Yes |
| Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb | No |
| Red Faction II | No |
| Secret Weapons Over Normandy | No |
| Star Wars Battlefront | No |
| Star Wars Battlefront II | No |
| Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith | No |
| Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy | No |
| Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast | No |
| Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter | No |
| Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic | No |
| Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords | No |
| Star Wars: Republic Commando | No |
| Star Wars: Starfighter Special Edition | No |
| Star Wars: The Clone Wars | No |
| Thrillville | No |
| TimeSplitters 2 | No |
| TimeSplitters: Future Perfect | No |
Morrowind and Grabbed by the Ghoulies are also included with Xbox Game Pass, as are all four of the earlier games, while the rest need buying. The small print says you'll need Windows 11, features vary by game and it's only available in select markets, so it's worth checking xbox.com/game-compatibility before you plan a whole Republic Commando weekend around it.
First-ever achievements for four original Xbox games
The other big change is that four original Xbox games now have achievements for the first time, namely Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper and Conker: Live and Reloaded. They also count when you play on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles once you've taken the latest system update, and Xbox says that in some cases they may unlock based on progress you've already made, which is a nice surprise for anyone who's been pottering around KOTOR since 2003.
Xbox says more original Xbox games, and more achievements, are on the way over time. It's all part of a busy anniversary week, and if you want to see how your own history stacks up, Xbox Playback will dig out your first game and total hours, while our look at every Xbox launch price in today's money shows what that original console really cost. Well, if you've ever wanted an excuse to finally finish TimeSplitters 2, the Force is very much with you this weekend.
