Xbox Recompiled Games: Every Native PC Port (Oct 2026)

The original Xbox ran x86 code like a PC, but its games expect the console’s hardware and kernel. Projects here recompile the game binary into a native Windows program and replace the Xbox-specific parts.

Short answerUpdated

We track 5 Xbox projects. 2 are playable today (stable or beta), including Halo: Combat Evolved and SSX Tricky. Every one needs files from your own copy of the game; we never link to game files.

FAQ

What Xbox games have been recompiled for PC?

As of Oct 19, 2026, 2 Xbox projects are playable (stable or beta): Halo: Combat Evolved and SSX Tricky. 3 more are early, unconfirmed or offline. The table on this page lists every one with its status.

Do I need my own copy of the Xbox game?

Yes. These projects ship code, not games: each one needs files from a copy you own, and this site never links to game files, ROMs or disc images.

Is a recompiled Xbox game the same as an emulator?

No. An emulator imitates the console while the game runs; a recompiled or decompiled game has been turned into a PC program beforehand, which usually runs faster and allows features like high frame rates and widescreen.
