A new report from The Verge suggests Microsoft could bring Xbox 360 games to PC as early as 2027, as part of its Project Helix hybrid device plans. Developers might choose pricing and Game Pass inclusion, finally opening the vast Xbox 360 catalog to PC gamers.
Five Xbox 360 Games I Want on PC
Here are five Xbox 360 titles I'm eager to replay if backward compatibility arrives.
Fable 3
Fable 3 holds a special place in my heart as my introduction to Albion. The PC port was plagued by Games for Windows Live, making it unplayable and unavailable after 2013. I'd love to revisit it before the new Fable launches in 2027.
Gears of War 2 and 3
These two massive chapters remain Xbox 360 exclusives. With Gears of War E-Day coming, having them on PC would let players experience the entire saga.
Saints Row
The original Saints Row is more than a GTA clone, offering deep character customization and a reactive gang system. Heading back to its open-world roots would be a fun trip.
Forza Horizon
The first Forza Horizon remains exclusive to Xbox 360. Its Colorado setting and arcade gameplay set a new standard for open-world racing, and I'd enjoy the retro graphics.
Perfect Dark Zero
Despite poor reviews, I want to play Perfect Dark Zero out of spite for the canceled Perfect Dark project. It's the next best thing if Microsoft won't make a new one.
