You can now enjoy up to 25 original Xbox games on your computer

Last Thursday, November 12, Xbox’s 25th anniversary was celebrated. To mark the occasion, a FanFest was held in Seattle where some of the brand’s latest announcements were presented, among which, one of the most notable, was the return of the original Xbox. Not literally, but on PC. Microsoft has begun what they’ve called “the preservation of the next generation of video games” by bringing the games from the original Xbox to PC.

Classics for everyone

They launched this initiative with a pilot program featuring only four games (Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and Fuzion Frenzy), with plans to expand it later. Now they’ve added another 21 games to the list, making it 25 games from the original Xbox catalog that you can now play on PC. Among them, titles such as The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Star Wars Battlefront I and II, or Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy and Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast stand out in particular, but here’s the full list below.

  • Armed and Dangerous
  • Blinx: The Time Sweeper
  • Conker: Live and Reloaded
  • Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
  • Disney’s Chicken Little
  • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
  • Fuzion Frenzy
  • Grabbed by the Ghoulies
  • Red Faction II
  • Secret Weapons Over Normandy
  • Star Wars Battlefront
  • 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 II – The Sith Lords
  • Star Wars: Republic Commando
  • Star Wars: Starfighter – Special Edition
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars
  • TimeSplitters 2
  • TimeSplitters: Future Perfect

The reason there are so many Star Wars games is that they were Xbox exclusives. Hence a large portion of the console’s games were titles licensed from this franchise. This brings us closer to having more of the catalog, as well as expanding into the Xbox 360 library, which they’ve promised is coming later. However, we still don’t have a specific date for when that will happen.
