For the 25th anniversary of Xbox, Microsoft is beginning to make good on its paid “next-gen game preservation” promise. Starting today, you can play 25 different original Xbox games on your Windows PC, as long as you have (or are willing to pay) for digital copies.
In July, Microsoft originally launched the idea with just four Xbox games, so 25 is progress, and Microsoft says all these games are now playable with keyboard and mouse.
Plus, Microsoft says it’s adding achievements to original Xbox games for the first time, starting with four games: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded. You can unlock achievements playing them on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles as well, after a system update. More games should get them in future.
