Numerous classic XBOX games have had their game IDs found in the Microsoft Store backend, including an older Elder Scrolls game and several Star Wars titles, hinting at future PC releases.
XBOX has been doing its best to preserve its whole catalog this year, with special mention going to the XBOX Disc-to-Digital scheme. Now, further additions could be lined up for PC, with 17 XBOX games found in the Microsoft Store backend.
Microsoft Store Backend Updated With Classic XBOX Games
According to XCT, and a Reddit post, 17 games could be made available to play through the Microsoft Store using backwards compatibility, and there are some serious gems here.

XCT said this about the 17 games: ‘XCT checked all 65 Original XBOX backward compatible products on 12 November 2026. For these 17 games, the XBOX catalogue also lists a Windows package. This is a hint from XBOX catalogue data, not a confirmation: None of them starts on a Windows PC today, and Microsoft has not announced them.’
A Reddit post from u/esketitethan also referenced the games, but also provided a link to the Microsoft Store backend showing all the game IDs, and information about each title—I wouldn’t advise reading through it all, or it’ll give you a headache.
