90s Games on Xbox One: What You Can Play Today
Xbox One's 90s access leans heavily on large publisher-assembled anthologies rather than individual remasters of single games.
Native collections
Rare Replay (2015) gathers decades of Rare's output, including its 90s Nintendo-era work, into one Xbox One package. SEGA Genesis Classics similarly bundles more than 50 Genesis-era titles, from Sonic to Streets of Rage 2 to the Phantasy Star RPGs, into a single purchase with added save states and rewind.

Some individual 90s-franchise games are sold separately as their own Xbox One listings rather than inside a themed collection; check a specific title's store page rather than assuming it's bundled with others from the same era.
Purchase vs. subscription
Xbox doesn't run an equivalent to Nintendo Switch Online's retro subscription library; 90s content on Xbox One is generally a one-time purchase rather than part of a recurring retro-specific subscription tier.
Original versus updated versions
Collections like SEGA Genesis Classics add modern conveniences (save anywhere, rewind, achievements) on top of what's otherwise close to the original game code, distinct from a full visual remaster that rebuilds the graphics.
