21 more original Xbox games are now available on PC through Xbox Backward Compatibility, taking the PC library to 25 as Xbox turns 25. Achievements have also gone live for four original Xbox games, on PC as well as on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles.
The news comes from a 12 November Xbox Wire post by Jason Ronald, VP of Next Generation at Xbox. The first four original Xbox games arrived on PC earlier this year, including on handhelds such as the ROG Xbox Ally family. Xbox says it has improved performance and stability for those four, and that every game in the programme now supports mouse and keyboard. More original Xbox games are planned for PC, and more will get achievements over time.
How to get them on PC
Xbox’s 12 November post links each title to its Xbox store page. When Backward Compatibility on PC launched, a 22 July Wire post also by Ronald said you access these games through the Xbox on PC app. The new post says Windows 11 is required, that the feature is available in select markets only, and that a game purchase or a Game Pass subscription may be required.
Six of the 25 games are flagged as also available with Xbox Game Pass: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Grabbed by the Ghoulies from this drop, plus the four already on PC, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy. The July announcement said those first four were included with all Xbox Game Pass plans. The 12 November post does not specify a plan for Morrowind or Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

Achievements for four original Xbox games
Starting on 12 November, players can earn achievements for the first time in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper and Conker: Live and Reloaded. Xbox says the new achievements also apply when you play these games on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, that you should take the latest system update first, and that in some cases achievements may unlock based on progress you have already made. Xbox says it worked with each game’s developers and publishers on the lists, and that more original Xbox games will get achievements over time.
That official first batch is not quite the one Xbox sketched in July. The July post said achievements would first come to BLiNX, Conker, Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy, which is what we reported in October and again when we covered the official account’s 2001 livery in November. The lists that actually went live are for KOTOR, KOTOR II, BLiNX and Conker. Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy did not get achievements in this drop. The official wording on older progress has also changed: in July, and in a later comment from Ronald, Xbox said progress would not count retroactively. The 12 November post says that in some cases, achievements may unlock based on progress you have already made.
