The official title was such marketing speak that I hope no one blames me for changing it. Seemingly this only means the Xbox app on PC and not stores like Steam.
Neat. I wonder how they’re doing this though, because I’m assuming it’s just an Xbox emulator adding the games on PC. Or are they proper PC ports?
The Xbox One and Series use x86 CPUs and Radeon GPUs, so emulation is not necessary, it’s more likely a compatibility layer, similar to what Proton does to allow Windows games to run on Linux.
This is for OG Xbox games though?
Same thing, the only Xbox that was not x86 was the 360.
To be fair the original Xbox uses x86 and a nvidia gpu, so not that different from the one and series either
Both the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One/Series are using emulators to run OG Xbox games. Its called Xefu (Xenon Fusion Emulator).
Just having a x86 CPU doesn’t mean console generations are interchangable.
So to answer the parent comment, yes, it’s emulation.
