List of compatible games that work with Windows 10

Here is a list of games that work and may not work with Windows 10. It's up to publishers and/or developers and the gaming community to get the games running on the new OS

Holy wall of scroll Batman! (On phone)

im stickin with 7 i like the interface its smooth great for browsing

I can play Counter-Strike, upgrading.

Windows 10 is great! Better than 7, have fun being left behind!

eh, i'm sure it's all good

@FoxbatAlpha: seriously

Well, it's all for BC, something that consolites (except Lemmings and Sheep) think that it's not important ;)

maybe ill try it out

Really want to see what WX is all about.

It's everything that Windows 8.1 should have been. A souped up Windows 7, but with more features, lighter and faster than before

This is the problem with early adopting an OS.

Really excited to see benefits for NVIDIA's 9xx lineup.

Can't wait for W10 actually. I haven't tried it but heard only good things about it.

Won't upgrade until StarCraft II is running perfectly.

It comes out on the 29, correct? I need to get myself a new desktop. :P

Yes it does, build a new desktop ;)

@FireEmblem_Man:

This is what i was afraid of. I don't care if its a handful of games it 100% compatible or no buy. I love older games. No way am i going to be stuck not being able to play my baldurs gate, torment, fallouts, system shock, theif, deus ex, etc... I don't care about new console ports only about older pc exclusives, and especially ones from pre-2007.

Screw you ms... get your shit together or get out!

You can't blame MS for not able to get all games to work on the new OS, that's all up to the publishers....

Why not?

It's their OS and they are advertising it for gaming on PC. And the killer point is the older games work with their older OS, publishes have nothing to do with it.

Maybe because old games uses older codes and MS has no power to tell publishers what to do? So far it's only a small list.

@FireEmblem_Man: The problem is the games i listed aren't on the compatible list either. Its a toss up gamble if any of my classics will work on the new os. I don't want to retire my windows 7 pc that plays them all fine for one that only 3 out of 50 games work. There are 10000s of games, where are they on this list?

Old code should work if it worked on win7, unless they removed functionality which would limit compatibility (like when windows 98/me went to windows xp/2000.

The publishers have nothing to do with it. Hell Interplay, Origin, Troika, Westwood, even Aces Ensemble and FASA (ms studios) etc are not even around anymore. Gaming on PC should be preserved for years to come. That is one of the benefits of playing games on pc... there is no generations.. Full bc, and if it's not a thing than that is a problem. There shouldn't even be a list in the first place. IT should just work.

This isn't xbox bc with lists and compatibility shit. this is pc gaming.. MS has had its head up the xbox ass for too long... hell the writing was on the wall when at that pc e3 conference phil "yeah I like pc gaming, but not really" spencer announced to waiting fans that you could play some xbone games on pc, but nowhere was there actaul new games like freelancer, age of empires etc.... (also not on the list)... I don't believe things MS says in a post Gates run company.

What's BC? I just use original hardware and not only will these consoles play older games natively, but many of them are worth more than what I had paid.

Well, when MS transition from DOS to NT, it nearly killed all the games to run on XP, until DOS-BOX was made. I'm sure majority of the games you want to play will be able to work. The list I provided didn't list all of them, but I assume a lot of gamers are experimenting with them. Windows 10 isn't out yet, but I was still able to play MegaRace and DOS-Box on my Windows 10 machine already.

Don't get me started. :O

Wish JE had compatibility :(

Good list TC... been real hesitant to even to even consider a OS swap from 7, only because of my gaming concerns. This does make me feel better tho. Curious how my mods will react tho.

meh, they have this same story with every OS ... yet somehow when I join day one 99% of my content works exactly the same. (except the vista switchover the 64bit components).

I bet win 10 wil be like win 8 .... practically works out of the box on anything thatn win 7 can run.

There is no Happy Wars. I'll wait until that happens.

I'll stick with Win7.

I already have Windows 10 pre-ordered for day one installation. I just hope all my games work fine on it. But judging by the list, it looks like it should be fine.

So what is this talk hermits do with "PC can play all old games and consoles cant" ?

You can't be this stupid...

Vast majority will run just fine.

besides, there's emulators for the small few that lapse. Been this way forever

He is.

I wanted to play my Skiddy the Slippery Puzzle game. Guess PC isn't truly BC. :(

You mad that i point out flaws in the above statement herms use ?

I mean, you can technically already get it if you really wanna.
(Insider progrrram)

so in other words a small list of games that still need to be made functional on Windows 10

hopefully developers/publishers update these games for functionality on the new OS

I'm actually kind of surprised by the list of compatible games

I don't expect this to be the end all be all list, there's probably many many more compatible and incompatible games

Confirmed... this stupid.

I'll be converting to W10 day one. I'm not even going to make a seperate partition just yeah **** it give me Windows 10 I'm done with this crap. I'll be the guy who finally gets back on the net two days later yelling at MS because it all went tits up lol.

I've been a win10 insider for a very very long time now, and all my 600+ games on steam work perfectly.

Awww....why is Defense Grid not compatible?

I haven't finished that yet.

That's good to hear, did you get the RTM build? I sure did :D

You tried every single one?

Ho

Lee

Shit

did you actually install each of those games and test them?

... Not really.. The majority of games you can get working running compatibility mode, I don't see how windows 10 would be any different in this regard.

Sheep? BC?

Can you play a NES cartridge on the WiiU?

Is buying it from the Nintendo Store the same as BC? Is SOME 360 games available to play on the X1....complete BC?

I'm not sure if thats correct, but I think this is a statement aimed just for taking a jab at the PS4.

Which again....only shows it's domination by others being afraid of it's popularity.

You just contradicted yourself. You say there is no problem with early adopting an OS when you said, "not really"...but then go on to admit that a portion games may not function and you speak about work arounds for some a majority of games, BUT not all the games people would own, just a majority. You are operating under a hypothetical since Win10 hasn't launched....in a thread about games that may or may not work with Windows 10.

Who's talking majority? It's all the games or nothing. If just a single game you purchased doesn't work, it's an issue. We can all see above it's more than just a single game that may present problems.

Those that adopt an OS early are going to experience issues as patches roll in for games and many other programs as well. This is well known for decades. I'm not sure if you are trying to justify an early adoption or what. I got a free Windows 10 upgrade coming my way too for all four of my gaming PCs, BUT I'm not certain I'm going to jump on board yet.

I made a general statement that applies to early adopters of Operating Systems. You should quote the TC and talk to him about his list of games that may not work with Win10. I don't know why I was quoted as this isn't my thread. This is all standard fare.

If you adopt an OS early, expect problems/issues. Some will be quicks fixes and others will be complained about for years.

I sense the butthurt in you that you can't play all your PS3 games on your PS4, while Lemmings will enjoy playing their 360 games and Wii U owners able to enjoy their Wii and VC downloads. :P

@FireEmblem_Man: I stopped reading at "butthurt." If you're going to try and rile me up....don't talk like a 12 year old.

.. I am sorry but what? We are talking about the past 30 years of pc games here.. Even now Windows 7 and 8 will not run certain games inless you use dosbox or use certain compatibility programs/patchs..
