Besides the games itself, it also received a number of improvements for Windows 11.
The game package has reached version 3, and now it is fully compatible with Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8. This is where the classic Windows 7 Games package comes into play. Many users are not happy with that change. The new games include ads, have worse performance, and come with a different gameplay. Instead, it offers you a Store version of the games.
Starting in Windows 8, Microsoft no longer ships classic games with the OS.
