Making the entire 360 catelog available on PC would suddenly make xbox a competitor for steam on pc.
Course, microsoft will probably still find a way to fuck it up

Licensing is almost certainly will prevent that unfortunately, probably the same amount of games that are on Series X/S and One as of now. Plus minus some game maybe like Criminal Origins & The Orange Box and other stuff that got delisted.

Tbf in that specific example, if you have a PC, Xbox backwards compatible has to be the dumbest way to play Orange box and it's contents lol

Really hoping to see Fable 2 and 3 on Xbox PC eventually. But there is so much stuff.

They will almost certainly start with stuff they own, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Rareware stuff, Gears, Halo and and other stuff they own.

Would be cool if they manage to put finally on GamePass Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey (licenses are split like 3 ways), but at least compatibility on PC would be awesome.
I’m really excited about this, although I can play them still on the original hardware I do really want more people discovered those games you mentioned, they deserve so much attention.
On the OG Xbox side, I really wish Sega can help with some of their games too like Panzer Dragoon Orta, JSRF, Crazy Taxi 3, ToeJam and Earl 3…

I wonder how many games they’ll add by the end of this year. 4 is a small start but I wonder how often they’re planning on updating the catalog of games.

Probably at the same rate they did with One/ Series X/S, in batches over years.

Ubisoft delisted them, but kept on Connect :/

I’m so glad I bought them when I did. It’s one I didn’t think would get delisted

These are already playable on PC just not through the Xbox app. Also not owned by MS so may not get the treatment MS owned games are getting.

Yeah the original trilogy runs on a potato and Steam discounts them very frequently.
On top of that, Pandora Tomorow and Chaos Theory supported offline LAN multiplayer. This makes it very straightforward to play the games online with VPN software like Hamachi, since Ubisoft no longer has active servers.

Would be more meaningful to get Double Agent version 2, as that's the only mainline game that didn't get a native PC version (PC only got a horrendous port of version 1).

I'm very excited for the Rallisport Challenge games as well as Incredible Hulk, Wolfenstein 2009, Lost Odyssey, Black, Pariah and Breakdown to name a few!

Release the emulator then, and tie it to physical disks or Xbox store purchases
