Microsoft has expanded its original Xbox catalog on PC with 21 additional games, bringing the total number of titles available through its backward compatibility program to 25. The release arrives as Xbox marks its 25th anniversary and gives Windows 11 players access to a broad selection of games from the platform’s early library.

The update is particularly notable for its Star Wars lineup. The newly available games include both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic titles, Star Wars: Republic Commando, the original Star Wars Battlefront games, Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast, and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The expansion also includes several other well-known releases, from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.

Twenty-one games join the PC collection

The newly added titles are:

  • 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
  • TimeSplitters: Future Perfect

These releases join four original Xbox games that were already on PC: BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and Fuzion Frenzy. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded are also identified as available through Xbox Game Pass.

Achievements and handheld support

Four games now have achievements on PC for the first time: 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. Xbox’s Jason Ronald said the achievement systems were created with the teams responsible for each game. Players who update their Xbox One or Xbox Series consoles can also earn those achievements there.

Some achievements may unlock automatically when a player’s existing saved progress meets the relevant requirements. The four games that reached PC earlier in 2026 have also received performance and stability improvements, according to the announcement.

All 25 titles support mouse and keyboard controls and can run on handheld gaming PCs, including the ROG Xbox Ally. Access requires Windows 11. The announcement does not provide separate Philippine pricing or regional availability details, so players in the Philippines will need to check the applicable Xbox and PC storefront listings for access to individual games and any Xbox Game Pass inclusion.
