Following theexciting announcement yesterday, you can now play the first selection of original Xbox games on your Xbox One (viaWindows Central). If you still have the original discs, you can insert them in your console and you’ll have to install a free update before being able to play. The updates are likely necessary to make the original Xbox games run at 1080p resolution with improved graphics and framerates on the new console.

The following 13 titles are now available to purchase on the Microsoft Store, though at the time of this writing it seems that you can’t purchase these digital games from the Xbox Store on your console. It works fine on the web though, so we invite you to use these links below:

While this first selection is a modest start, Xbox’s Lead Program Manager Bill Stillwellsharedthat the company plans to “release another curated list of Original Xbox classics in spring 2018.” Did you already try to play original Xbox games on your Xbox One? If so, do you enjoy this throwback to the early 2000’s? Let us know below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
