To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Xbox, Microsoft has made 25 original Xbox games available for PC. Players can access these titles through digital copies, with achievements being introduced for the first time in select games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Conker: Live and Reloaded. The backward compatibility is facilitated by an emulator, but original Xbox discs are not supported in this rollout.
Future plans indicate a gradual introduction of Xbox 360 games to next-gen consoles, with a full launch of original Xbox titles on PC expected by October 2026. This aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy to enhance game preservation and accessibility.
