Four Classic Xbox Games Add Official Achievements, Including Both Knights of the Old Republic Titles
November 13, 2026
Xbox has added official achievements to four original Xbox games, calling the feature one of fans’ most-requested additions and saying more games will get achievements over time.
The four titles are Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live & Reloaded, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II.
The two KOTOR games are now available on Xbox’s PC platform as part of a 21-game release, priced at $9.99 each; the update also adds achievements to both, more than two decades after their original releases.
Xbox made the update, rather than BioWare, which developed the first game, or Obsidian Entertainment, which developed the sequel.
Microsoft worked with each game’s developers and publishers to create achievement lists, and some achievements may unlock automatically based on players’ existing progress.
These PC releases are ports of the Xbox versions, unlike the original PC editions on Steam, and support achievements through backward compatibility on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
PC players who prioritize mods and community fixes may prefer the Steam editions, particularly for addressing problems in The Sith Lords.
The update does not change the games themselves, but achievements could give newcomers a reason to try them and longtime fans new goals across their branching stories and choices.
Achievement hunting can also make choices feel like checklist tasks, though players can ignore the challenges and simply enjoy the story.
The games’ graphics and gameplay have aged, but their writing, stories, characters and quests remain standout strengths.
BioWare released Knights of the Old Republic with LucasArts in 2003; Casey Hudson directed it, Drew Karpyshyn wrote it and James Ohlen designed it.
Obsidian Entertainment, led by Chris Avellone, developed The Sith Lords after BioWare moved on to its own intellectual property; the sequel earned an 86 Metacritic score and arrived on Nintendo Switch in 2022.
