Xbox Game Preservation Opens PC Backward-Compatibility Voting, With 10 Games Leading Early

Summary
Xbox Game Preservation has added a fan voting system for future PC backward compatibility, extending momentum from Xbox’s PC compatibility announcement earlier this week.
10 titles were highlighted as the current early favorites, led by Fable 2, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Fable 3, Sonic Unleashed, Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 3.
Several top-ranked games — including Fable 2, Fable 3, Gears of War 2 and Gears 3 — have never had native PC ports, making the vote a gauge of pent-up demand.
The wishlist focus is on games that already support backward compatibility on Xbox consoles, suggesting those titles may be the most plausible candidates for a PC rollout.
