Microsoft has expanded its original Xbox game-preservation effort to 25 titles playable on Windows PCs, up from four when the initiative launched in July. Players need digital copies of the games, and Microsoft says the full lineup supports keyboard and mouse.
The update also introduces achievements to original Xbox games for the first time. They are available initially 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.

The 25 playable games are Armed and Dangerous; Blinx: The Time Sweeper; Conker: Live and Reloaded; Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge; Disney’s Chicken Little; The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind; Fuzion Frenzy; Grabbed by the Ghoulies; Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb; Red Faction II; Secret Weapons Over Normandy; Star Wars Battlefront; Star Wars Battlefront II; Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith; Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy; Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast; Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter; Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic; Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords; Star Wars: Republic Commando; Star Wars: Starfighter – Special Edition; Star Wars: The Clone Wars; Thrillville; TimeSplitters 2; and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.
The collection includes several Star Wars titles, many of which already have PC versions, alongside games that were Xbox exclusives at the time.
