Here's hoping it's true.
I'm skeptical. Even if they did, it'll part of an online game marketplace rather than allowing users to play their old discs.
Still.. there's more than a handful of games that stayed on either system (especially 360) that I would love to revisit.
Wonder if this might inadvertently help emulators perform better for quirky games (unless Microslop just steals an existing emulator)
There was a 2020 leak of basically everything for the original Xbox. XEMU has made very fast progress after many years of stagnation with cxbx.
idk if closed source binaries would be of any use for Xenia/360.
Ooooh come on come on...if they're gona kill off the Xbox at least let me play my library on pc. Would be the best outcome of this crappy situation
Couldn't be, a user friendly feature, in this economy?
Not really, it's a way to sell you 25 year old games for $50. They saw Nintendo's Virtual Console and wanted in on that same grift.
Or even better, rent them
I assume it's part of Microsoft's XBOX transition to just plain old PCs with Windows.
Microsoft is getting out of the console wars to consolidate around desktop (and couch) computing. They're never going to beat steam and they're never going to make a trillion dollars fighting Sony another generation
Metal Arms here I come ๐
Please, remake the Steel Battalion controller too.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!
