Xbox classics playable on PC including Star Wars games, Digi Mart USA News: Microsoft is expanding its library of original Xbox games playable on Windows PCs, adding 21 more classics following an earlier group of four titles released in July. According to a Notebookcheck report, the new lineup includes 11 Star Wars games, among them Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefront II, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
The additions also include non-Star Wars titles. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, an open-world role-playing game set on the fantasy island of Vvardenfell, is now playable on PC in its original Xbox version.
TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect are also included, bringing fast-paced first-person shooters featuring time travel and firefights across different historical eras.
The games are available through Microsoft’s Xbox app for PC, with current store prices ranging from approximately $4.99 to $14.99, according to the report. The source notes that the titles are around 20 years old and have relatively modest graphics requirements, which may make them appealing for handheld gaming PCs.
The report also mentions that plugins such as Unifideck can give Steam Deck users access to Microsoft games and Xbox Game Pass without installing Windows, though these are third-party tools rather than part of Microsoft’s release.
Some users on Reddit questioned why Microsoft was releasing games such as Morrowind and Battlefront on PC again, since PC versions already existed. Once it became clear these were the original Xbox versions, many felt the release made sense, while others said they would have preferred remasters or a Steam release.
