Xbox Adds 21 More Original Xbox Games To Backwards Compatibility Program And Over Half Of Them Are Star Wars And Over Half Of Them Are Star Wars
In honor of the console’s 25th anniversary, and to give people something to do in the midst of the current Outlook outage (and to potentially take the heat off Asha Sharma’s memo that seemingly pushes for genAI in development without mentioning genAI), Xbox has released another 21 games for its PC backward-compatibility project. These new titles join the four games already released back in July, bringing the grand total of OG Xbox games on PC to 25. 25 years of Xbox, 25 games. Yay, synchronicity.
Looking at the list, you could come away thinking that Xbox’s earliest years as a console were uniquely devoted to Star Wars games. Of the 21 games released, 11 of them are Star Wars, including Knights of the Old Republic (RIP BioWare). Here’s the full list.
Of the 25 original Xbox games now available on PC, four—KotOR, KotOR II, Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded—will also have achievements. Xbox says it plans on adding achievements to more of these games in the future.
