Is this the emulation of Xbox and Xbox 360 games that's been rumoured?

If Xbox Series does indeed end up being their final console, your library is at least future proof.

Windows Phone and Xbox console games are showing up on the Xbox PC app for some reason

Microsoft seems to have broken something, because reams of dead games are showing up on Xbox PC libraries everywhere.

It's the streaming your own games on the cloud they've been talking about for the last few years

 

[bitbydeath]

Sounds like an announcement is coming.

Hope not

Ideally you should be able to play your old Xbox discs on PC

Hand on your heart here... Who has an optical drive in their PC nowadays? There's not even a 5.25" slot in my current case.
You can have an external, but the point still stands.

 

[balls of snow]

Fuck Lost Odyssey no longer locked to a dying platform.

Agreed, that needs to change.

 

[Kataploom]

If I can finally play Gears of Wars 2 and 3, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey on PC, then I'll be happy to terminate Xbox consoles lol.

But that won't happen, I mean, Xbox consoles ending this gen... They will find a way to make it viable because having a hardware ecosystem that they have full control of us just too much of a convenience.

 

[salva]

I hope we're getting full Xbox emulation on PC. Doubt that's what this is, but that would be amazing

They managed to get PowerPC 360 games running on x86 Xbox One/Series, no reason it can't be done on x86 PC.

This is all I want. Please pull this off MS

JUDGMENT DAY!!!

 

[Buggy Loop]

Lost Odyssey and Ninja Gaiden 2 OGs on PC?

 

[Fake]

The end is coming.

 

[nani17]

well they might say something tonight

 

[xrnzaaas]

Emulation yes, streaming no.

 

[Shmunter]

Xbox should release back catalogue on ps5

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Xbox should release back catalogue on ps5

Already well underway, give them time

 

[DenchDeckard]

Already well underway, give them time

You mean like old native Xbox apps such as 360 games?

I cant see them putting the work to learn how to emulate for another platform but who knows?

Just give us PC and we will be happy i think.

 

[OverHeat]

500 games in my Xbox library finally that I can play again!!!

 

[dragonyeuw]

My OG Xbox and 360 digital library needs a new home away from consoles.

 

[ReyBrujo]

lol, first time I ever heard the English dub, so trash

 

[Punished Miku]

lol, first time I ever heard the English dub, so trash

No way lol. Its perfect ♡

 

[Kacho]

lol, first time I ever heard the English dub, so trash

That Bruce Faulconer soundtrack is a banger tho

 

[Topher]

This would be awesome.

 

[Trekinspace88]

So if this is accurate does that mean that the rumours of a steam store app on Xbox where you can play your entire steam library on Xbox is real?

 

[Punished Miku]

That Bruce Faulconer soundtrack is a banger tho

I still have the whole DVD set just for that.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

How is this related in the slightest?

 

[Topher]

If you mean Steam app on Xbox console then no. The "effort" described in the article mentioned Steam games on PC showing up in the PC Xbox app.

 

[Kacho]

So if this is accurate does that mean that the rumours of a steam store app on Xbox where you can play your entire steam library on Xbox is real?

If that happens it would be on their next console, which will likely be a straight up PC.

For now the best you can hope for is Steam library integration on the Xbox PC app.

I picked up an exteral for ripping my bluray collection. They're better as shelf art than actually being used

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Sounds like an announcement is coming.

Yep.

I'm surprised they could actually pull it off. But if it's emulated, let's see how good performance is before people start trying to gloat.

This is all I want. Please pull this off MS

You better be praying at new pope's house because you're asking for a mega-miracle.

 

[Steve Holt]

It's quite amazing that every decision that Microsoft make there's a significant crowd saying that's exactly the right direction should be heading in. Potentially just streaming? Ew

I've got one but I'm all digital, so don't ask me to explain that......

 

[Killer8]

If this happens I can finally get rid of my Series X.

 

[Topher]

It's the streaming your own games on the cloud they've been talking about for the last few years

If it is just streaming then that's a big downer

 

[Holammer]

[tusharngf]

i got around 80 games on xbox live. Finally i can play them again. Please do it microsoft.

 

[Kacho]

My Xbox PC App isn't showing my console games

 

[VolticArchangel]

HeisenbergFX4 anything to look forward to here in context of the showcase or this is just a bug?

Curious timing though, just 3 hrs before the showcase...

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Interesting

 

[noob smokes]

Xbox should release back catalogue on ps5

They already are

 

[Astray]

There's a possibility it might turn out that way, but I'm honestly looking forward to something more than that.

Not only are we talking about games like Lost Odyssey, but also potentially better versions of stuff that's already on Steam.

All these dreams might get dashed in a few hours though lol.

Not a bug

So the XBox PC app is a Super Saiyan transformation?

 

[Fess]

They need to let us scan the discs on the console and get the games added into our digital library on PC.
Those who have physical games needs to have a solution as well.

 

[Punished Miku]

We'll see. Could go down as the most extreme pro consumer move in the history of gaming.
