List of compatible games that work with Windows 10

Okay Mr. Tough Guy, sorry you can't play any PS3 games on your PS4, not my fault MS all of a sudden started caring for the gamers and Sony stopped

You should change your name to mr_butthurt_dog :P

Right...so you admit there are issues and work arounds for select games, which we both know about.

I would imagine 99% in this thread know about work arounds and patches for games so I am not sure what this has to do with the price of tea in China?

My initial statement is still accurate.

This is the problem with early adopting an OS.

If you don't see it as a problem, good on you, but that doesn't change the fact that others see it as a problem. That's why this thread was created, to enlighten people as to the potential issues with their current game libraries.

Anyways, have a good one.

@FireEmblem_Man: Thats cute....but I can still play PS3 games b/c I still have my PS3.

Almost....but you're getting there.

Edit: Also....why am I a tough guy?

@senses_fail_06: yes I have them installed, I have tested everyone as I start them the minute installation completes, load up to a menu screen then quit out, that way if a game happens to have issues I can fix it straight away. I haven't had issues beyond what win7 etc have from bad ports etc.

@FireEmblem_Man: Yeah I've been updating the build as they come out. I'm on fast, not slow for updates.

Nice! I just recently got the last build, TH 10240.

I'm sure the few hundred people still playing the games that aren't working properly will be severely pissed off.

Holding out hope for windows 10.

My 6 year old Dell has seen better days but 8 really didn't interest me (that and I didn't have the money for an upgrade :P)

If it wasn't for a clean install onto an SSD that replaced the old HDD i'd have had to go for 8 a long time ago

There are always VMs. Honestly, I can't think of a single game I have not been able to get running one way or the other in W8.1; and it's not like that features perfect "B/C".

@GarGx1: not everyone pc gamer plays mobas or the latest console ports. I play strategy games, rpgs , newer kickstarter funded games, indies, rts, and older games.made when pc games were made front and center, either exclusive or downgraded in both gameplay and graphics to console... i dont play any console ports on pc or the horrible multiplayer only genres like moba.

That being said, games like thief and baldurs gate, kotor etc... are timeless and still have communities making content. Its not just a hundred people.

I grew up im the 80s with pc gaming and was there for wolf3d wing commander , civikization, ultima and doom, at the dawn of 3d acceleration with 3dfx. I was there for quake and ut, thief etc... and i was there for crysis and stalker ...

and i was there in the modern era when ms disbandrd all pc devs and charged for online play, making every AAA exclusive focus on 360 instead of pc.

If i cant play my legacy collection of games thrn the os can go to hell, plain and simple.

I am sorry but this doesn't compare.. This isn't Windows 7 or 8.. In which it opens up to people to buy, not giving as large incentive to update as fast as this one.. This is being given FREE to every person out there who owns windows 7 or 8.. You cannot compare them to earlier OS's because there has never been a OS that has been freely given out to every one basically.. Come the date of the release, the vast majority of pc gamers are going to jump onto the wagon..

Well, I reserved my copy. I have an empty 240 gig SSD.

I'll see if I'll be able to dual boot windows 10 and 7

@verbalfilth: by probably next year where games that are created in DX12. Windows 7 users are going to be left in the dust. I don't think there's a point dual booting Windows 7 and 10

You're presuming an awful lot from a single sentence!

I replayed Kotor and Kotor 2 a few months back, probably my 5th or 6th play through. I still love those games but it wasn't exactly straight forward getting either of them running properly at 1080p, a resolution neither were ever designed to cope with. PC has excellent backward compatibility but we'll always be at the mercy of time and advancement and a lot of classic old titles were just not designed with 2015 tech in mind. Unfortunately the games are static but the technology is not.

Personally I've been gaming since 1975 (when I was 5 years old) I've come through Spectrum's (ZX81, 32, 128), Commodore 64, Amiga etc. my first PC self build was in 1990 and yes I've been there for the release of all the classic id, Firaxis, Blue Byte, Sierra, Origin, Digital Anvil games (actually Wing Commander and Chris Roberts is the reason why I'm a Star Citizen Golden Ticket holder/Original Backer/Subscriber with Concierge access). On top of that my favourite games series by far is Total War (I've spent hundreds of hours playing each one of the core series since Shogun), so please don't tar me the "only plays Mobas and latest console ports" brush.

You'll be able to play your legacy/infinity engine games, windows 10 will not disable them for ever if, at all. After all it's really just an advancement on Win 8, which was a tweaking of Win 7 with a really shit U.I. They've not reinvented the wheel just put new tyres on it. Personally I'm hopeful that the DX12 advancements are worth the teething problems that come with all new operating system versions

@daniel_su123: its just to test the waters and to make sure all the ducks are in a row. Once windows 7 is left in the dust, then I will make the full transition.

Good the devs have announced an update on Kotor II already available on Steam for higher resolutions and update to run on the new OS

every single game i own works(a lot of them are on this list) without messing with the compatibility settings,except of a few shitty japanese ports(Akiba's trip comes to mind)

I am running windows 10 RTM(build 10240)

Glad to know that! Also, it's nice to have others that are already on the RTM build :)

Eh, no need to upgrade when 7 is working fine for me.

I might upgrade my work laptop to Windows 10 to play with the OS.

You'll be missing out on the greatness of DX 12

I haven't been able to run Killing Floor 2 since I upgraded to Win10 last week.

I tried admin rights, compatibility mode, etc. and nada. Verify game files and run and it works but change any settings and restart the game, nope. Won't run other than being a background process.

Sucks for you :P

Well, just wait for a developer update on it ;)

Microsoft disbanded only the PC developers it published games for which weren't a lot. Microsoft-developed games on the PC are among the most compatible on the PC. I have Microsoft games dating back from the 90's and they still install natively and work without 3rd-party apps or even patches.

Microsoft games like Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far (1997) work with Windows all the way to Windows 8.1. I'm sure they will work with Windows 10.

I have games that does not work on my windows 10, while it works smoothly in my friends windows 10.

Any suggestions?

Most of the games does not even start even after changing the compatibility mode and running it as an Administrator. They just give error message that the program has stopped working.

Can anyone suggest the best version of windows 10 for Gaming.

My suggestion is make a new thread in the correct forum, and don't bump threads in the wrong forum that are more than 2 years old.

Hope retail Max Payne 1 works on Win 10 Home.Thinking to boot it up this weekend.
