Microsoft has unveiled Retro Classics with Game Pass, partnering with Antstream Arcade to deliver more than 50 classic Activision titles from the 1980s and 1990s exclusively to subscribers.
The curated selection features iconic games including Commando, Pitfall!, MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, Grand Prix, and Kaboom!, with some titles dating back nearly five decades. Notably, these classics now support cloud saves - a first-time feature for most of these vintage games.
This initiative represents Microsoft's ongoing commitment to game preservation and backwards compatibility. Available across all Game Pass subscription tiers, Retro Classics will initially launch in existing Game Pass markets.
The program will gradually expand beyond its initial 50+ titles, eventually exceeding 100 classic Activision and Blizzard games through regular monthly additions.
Microsoft emphasizes cross-platform compatibility, enabling gameplay across Xbox consoles, PC via the Xbox app, and supported cloud devices including:
The collection introduces competitive challenges alongside new achievements. Cloud saving functionality resolves a longstanding limitation of these classic titles.
This announcement follows Microsoft's May 2025 Game Pass Wave 2 lineup reveal and the confirmation of Hellblade 2's PlayStation 5 release.
