    Microsoft’s branding is intensely confusing. These are not backward compatible games. If you own it on Xbox, you CANNOT play it on PC.

    These are PC ports for classic Xbox games that require a re-purchase.

      Are you sure? This line from the post seems to indicate otherwise:

      If you already own a digital license for these games on console, that license now carries over to your PC or handheld.

        Nobody in 2003 bought digital licenses for the OG Xbox. Basically every current owner of these games (ex: Crimson Skies) will be forced to repurchase it to take advantage of the advertised “backwards compatibility”.

        This is not backwards compatibility as Microsoft claims, this is a PC port.
