Its isnt on console also. It has probably to do with licensing..
It came before they said that all 1st party games would be game pass.
There are a load of games that fall into the same category

It's fine. Just make sure you remember it was a 3DS game, released before the main series went back to horror with RE7.
It kind of is. They just added X Enhancement to Perfect Dark, PDZ, Banjo, Banjo Tooie, the Viva Pinatas, Kameo and Nuts and Bolts.
I mean regardless I doubt it would come since most of those games in Rare Replay are 360 BC titles.
Unless they bring 360 BC to PC or do full ports of those older titles it'll probably stay on console.
lame additions, but whatever, they just launched on PC last week and I have a good ten or so games to play through from them
And Revelations is console-only? I already own it on Steam, and I imagine that whatever Game Pass deal they have with Capcom doesn't cover PC, but they really need to work on reaching console/PC library parity wherever possible.

Are the insanely slow download speeds still not fixed?
This is completely feasible given how 360 BC is achieved using a spin off of their PC virtualization solution. Not sure we'll ever see it, but I don't think it would be an overly challenging project to bring 360 games to the majority of PCs.
They really need to do ports of their back catalog. Nuts and Bolts on PC could be really cool, especially if it's open to being modded.
Phil talked about it during his Giant Bomb interview and said the biggest challenge is due to the variables that come with PC gaming. Would more likely be streamed rather than native.
We'll see what happens though.
It was the main thing I hoping to see announced at E3, but alas.
Phil already said it would be an overly challenging project and therefore unlikely to happen. LOL

I mean it would be almost trivial. The games are already converted into UWP/Win32 when made into a 360BC title. So it would be a piece of cake for MS to do so, but there's a shitload of agreements that they'd now need companies to sign.
In this year's Giant Bomb E3 at nite show with Phil Spencer, he said they'll likely never do 360 BC on PCs natively, instead streaming them would probably be their solution due to how different the PowerPC architecture is and how many different configurations there are for PCs :(
Just because it's technically feasible to bring 360 BC to PC doesn't mean it's viable. There are still likely major legality and licensing issues involved. We've seen several games demanding updates just to be playable on the Xbox One's BC - I imagine it would be a whole other can of worms for PC support. And there may also be major problems insofar as scalability and compatibility across hardware, PC catered settings, etc.
But perhaps equally important - why provide 360 BC on PC when they could include that with XCloud?

I don't get why people keep saying this. Phil said something to the effect that it was hard enough accurately emulating Power PC on a fixed set of specs of the Xbox One, yet alone trying to do it on PC with all it's different configurations.
I don't understand why Torment: Tides of Numenera will be available only on Xbox Game Pass for PC. Microsoft acquired inXile and this is also available on Xbox One.
That's ridiculous. I understand to have a choice, but not dividing it to better or worse for something.

Umm...it came out in 2015 and that announcement happened last year.
I almost blew a gasket when I first saw RR coming to gamepass thinking it was on PC now too though :(

They're emulating Power PC on the same architecture most every PC runs on. It's mainly a matter of having enough cores with enough single threaded power. It'd have high requirements (given the games) which might piss people off, but most PC gamers probably have something that could run them at least as well as the 360 did.
Heck, provide streaming but offer the local VM too as an option.
Reminder that the following games on Rare Replay are X enhanced now.
Banjo-Kazooie

I'm just repeating what the Head of Xbox recently said why it would be difficult in trying to bring 360 BC to PC contrary to what some of ya'll in this thread are saying. Hence why streaming is likely to be the only option.
Hmm. I must have pulled up a different interview 🤷♂️ Apologies. I would almost be tempted to double dip even if it was on PC gamepass.
I suppose I could look it up myself...but what is the gameplay of Torment like? Turn based, Action RPG Diablo-like or RTWP....was not a fan of Pillars of Eternity but enjoyed Divinity OS. Might just need to be in the mood for those though
I wanted to know what the fuss about goat simulator was about, so I'll give it a shot.
Microsoft please bring the rare replay to pc ;____;
