Agreed, it's one of the great benefits of pc gaming, that many or most games can still be played somehow, instead of tossed aside every 6-7 years when a new box comes out.

Now the only thing I'm missing is the access to the beta lol
Since I don't own a console it'd be nice having just one more perk from my Ultimate subscription (plus I need it to complete all those gamepass quests that can't be done on PC...)

That used to be the case but not anymore. The new Xbox Series will play all of your Xbox one games, no need to toss them out. In fact the new Xbox will play a lot of the older games better with the new hardware. It's nice playing older games like Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 which came out on the OG Xbox and 360 on my new Xbox Series X now in 4K and HDR. My old Xbox games have never looked so good.
