Microsoft's 25 Years of XBOX Bundle adds 25 PC games, including Skyrim Special Edition, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Gears of War: Reloaded, Call of Duty: WWII, Age of Empires II and Fallout 76, to new Windows Home PCs and handhelds bought in the United States between November 2 and December 31, 2026. As of November 9, there is no announcement for France or the rest of Europe.
So, a few questions:
If you had the bundle, which game would you install first, and which ones would you never touch?
Would a pack like this make you pick a Windows PC or handheld over a console this holiday season?
For those of us outside the US: would you like Microsoft to bring this offer here, or do you already own most of these games?
And if you are in the US and bought an eligible PC: has the bundle shown up in your Microsoft Store library yet?
