Xbox has added 21 more original Xbox games to its PC backwards-compatibility programme, bringing the library to 25 titles. The expansion arrived on 12 November as part of the brand’s anniversary celebrations, with TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect among the standout additions.
The collection also gains The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb. Star Wars is particularly well represented, with both Knights of the Old Republic games joining Republic Commando and the original Battlefront titles, among others.
These are original Xbox releases becoming available through the PC programme, so readers should distinguish them from remasters or separate native PC editions. That matters for games such as Morrowind, whose existing PC version is a different purchasing choice from revisiting the console release.
UK availability is reflected in the Xbox store listings, which now include PC among the supported devices. TimeSplitters 2 is currently listed at £8.39, while Morrowind is £8.99 and also appears in the listed Game Pass subscriptions. Neither price should be taken as a flat charge for the whole collection.
Achievements are another part of the announcement, initially covering Knights of the Old Republic, its sequel, Blinx: The Time Sweeper and Conker: Live and Reloaded. Microsoft says those additions also apply on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, with the latest system update required; some achievements may recognise progress already made.
The PC programme requires Windows 11, and Microsoft notes that features vary between games. The company also reports performance and stability improvements for the first four releases, with mouse and keyboard support now available across the library.
Spotted via GamesRadar+, the official Xbox announcement contains the full list. The UK TimeSplitters 2 listing and Morrowind listing are worth checking before buying, particularly if your existing backlog already has its own postcode.
