An official emulator from Microsoft could be in the works, allowing original Xbox and Xbox 360 games to run on PCs.
The Xbox Backwards Compatibility Program is set to return this year, and there's a good chance it includes original Xbox and Xbox 360 games coming to PC.
Starting April 2026, Microsoft will roll out Xbox Mode to all Windows 11 PCs for console-like gaming, a full-screen interface, and easy controller use.
