The list includes the likes of Commando, Grand Prix, Kaboom!, Mech Warrior 2: 31st Century Combat, and Pitfall!. Some of the games go back 45 years. Players can even save their progress and continue later, a first for many of these games. Microsoft said Retro Classics with Game Pass is “a step in our commitment to game preservation and backwards compatibility.” Retro Classics will be available to all Game Pass membership options in the regions where Game Pass is currently available. Platform sections include Atari 2600, DOS, and Amiga. It's worth noting there is a PlayStation (PSX) section of Retro Classics, which currently includes MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat. MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat was developed and published by Activision in 1995 on PC before coming to PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1997. The only game in the SNES section is 1993's MechWarrior. Over time, Microsoft will add more classic games from Activision and Blizzard’s back catalog to Game Pass, expanding the Retro Classics collection to over 100 games.
