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. 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 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.
