While Xbox Project Helix aims to make sure Microsoft's gaming division has a future, the brand also has 25 years of history to look back on. For the green machine's silver anniversary, Xbox has big plans on re-releasing some notable, as-yet-unnamed classics this year as part of a larger commitment to game preservation.
"The game preservation team has been working very hard in the background for a number of years," Xbox's next-gen VP Jason Ronald explains in a Game Developers Conference talk attended by GamesRadar+. "As part of our 25th anniversary later this year, they will release some iconic games from the past that are now going to be able to be played in entirely new ways. This shows our commitment to game preservation and enabling these games to be played by the next generation of players in ways that are very familiar to them."
