21 More Original XBOX Games Arrive On PC Via Backward Compatibility, Including KOTOR, Morrowind, And TimeSplitters

Key Points:

• Microsoft has expanded its XBOX Backward Compatibility on Windows 11 PCs by adding 21 original XBOX games, increasing the playable library to 25 titles in celebration of XBOX's 25th anniversary.
• The new additions include major classics like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect, Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, and 11 Star Wars games such as Knights of the Old Republic I and II, Battlefront I and II, and Republic Commando.
• All 25 backward-compatible games now support mouse and keyboard controls, enhanced graphics options (up to 4X resolution upscaling, VSync, anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing), and improved performance and stability, with some games also featuring XBOX achievements.
• Achievements have been added for four original XBOX classics—Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I and II, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded—and can unlock retroactively on XBOX One and Series consoles after the latest update.
• Games are accessible via the XBOX PC app on Windows 11 and compatible handheld devices, with existing digital licenses carrying over without additional purchase; six titles are included in XBOX Game Pass, while physical discs do not grant PC digital rights.
