Xbox has officially launched Backward Compatibility on PC, allowing players to access classic original Xbox-era games through the Xbox app on Windows for the first time. This addresses a long-standing gap in Microsoft's backward compatibility efforts, which had previously focused on consoles while leaving PC players unable to legally revisit these older titles outside of emulation or original hardware.

The rollout begins with four games: Conker: Live & Reloaded, Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy. Each can be bought individually, and all four are also included at no extra cost with every tier of Xbox Game Pass.
