Xbox adds more OG console games to PC, including Knights of the Old Republic - now with achievements
Key Points:
- Microsoft has expanded its Xbox backward compatibility program on PC by adding 21 original Xbox games, bringing the total number of supported titles to 25, including classics like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
- The update also introduces full Xbox achievement support for select original Xbox games, allowing players to earn achievements in titles such as Knights of the Old Republic.
- The newly added games join four previously available titles on PC, all of which are also accessible via Xbox Game Pass, enhancing the preservation and accessibility of classic Xbox games.
- Despite hopes for more backward-compatible titles from franchises like Singularity and Skylanders, which Microsoft now owns through Activision, these were not included in this update.
- Xbox's 25th anniversary celebrations continue with additional small announcements, though no major hardware reveals are expected at this time.
