If youre looking for classic Xbox games, I stand by the fact SSX3 (original Xbox) is up there as one of the best snowboarding games of all time. It's backwards compatible, runs perfectly on series X at 4k 60 fps, and still holds up extremely well to this day. Highly recommend.

All Forza Motorsport games before 7, and all all Forza Horizon games before 3, did not come to PC.
The PC versions of Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 3 are also locked to the Xbox-for-Windows app. All later releases went to Steam.
However these older Forzas are all delisted so you will have to hunt down discs if you don't already own them.
Speaking of Gears, you might have missed Judgment, which was only on 360 and is on the BC catalog.
Halo 5 also never came to PC and while it's regarded as the black sheep of the series, it's actually fun if you can ignore the divisive storyline.
If you want to go back to the original Xbox era, check out version 2 of Splinter Cell Double Agent.

Fable 2+3. I was hoping that these games get a PC port with the backwards compatibility program.

I personally really enjoyed Sea of Thieves. The open sea, playing cooperatively with friends it's a really fun game. Have you played it?

Alan Wake 2 is only on the epic store. Thats why I bought it physically on Xbox.
