Microsoft has added 21 more original Xbox games to its PC backwards compatibility program, bringing the total to 25 for Xbox’s 25th anniversary. TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect are both in, as are Grabbed by the Ghoulies (banger), Armed and Dangerous and Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb. Chicken Little, too. Sure. Why not.
Funnily enough, 11 of the 21 additions are Star Wars games, including the original Battlefront and Battlefront II, both Knights of the Old Republic games and Republic Commando. Several games in the batch already had PC releases, including Morrowind, but now you can play the Xbox version on PC for posterity. The two TimeSplitters games are the bigger draw here, especially as this is the first time they’ve ever (officially) come over to PC and can now be played with a mouse and keyboard.
The games require Windows 11 and all 25 now support mouse and keyboard. Six are included with Game Pass, as marked below. The rest are available to buy separately:

Blinx: The Time Sweeper (Game Pass)
Conker: Live & Reloaded (Game Pass)

You can earn them on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X & |S, and some may unlock based on progress you’ve already made. Xbox console players will need the latest system update. Microsoft says more original Xbox games and achievements are on the way.
