Seventeen original Xbox titles that already support backward compatibility on consoles have recently appeared in Windows package records within the Microsoft Store backend. However, none of these packages can currently be launched on PC, and Microsoft has yet to confirm that these games will officially come to Windows.
XCT discovered these records after examining backend data. The known list includes TimeSplitters 2, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, Ghostbusters, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, Red Faction 2, as well as Star Wars: Battlefront, Star Wars: Battlefront II, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, and Star Wars: Republic Commando.
Microsoft will launch the Xbox PC backward compatibility program in July 2026, with the first batch including four original Xbox titles: Spawn, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers: Remastered, Crimson Skies: Road to Revenge, and Mad Dash. These games will feature higher resolutions, improved filtering effects, and updated options.
The initial batch of games will allow players to extend their console digital licenses to PC, or they can be purchased separately or played via Game Pass. The backend records uncovered this time should not be considered confirmation of release; some titles on the list already have native PC versions. Even if the relevant software packages are officially launched, they may simply be enhanced console emulation versions rather than next-gen remakes.
