They also work on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S once you install the latest system update, and in some cases they unlock based on progress you've already made. Xbox says it designed them with each game's developers and publishers and plans to add achievements to more original Xbox games over time.
What you need
You need Windows 11, and the games must be downloaded. They're available in select markets only, and you need to own the game or, for those included, have Game Pass. Features vary by game; Xbox lists the details on its game compatibility page.
On PC, the Xbox app itself was recently redesigned to launch up to 60% faster. For a look back at your own Xbox years, Xbox Playback is live until 31 December.
