New Xbox console rumors have gamers worried about backwards compatibility

[Redaktion]

Gamers are hoping that a new Xbox console doesn't leave past-generation titles behind. Functioning like a Windows gaming PC, it may not natively boot older Xbox games. Players could get a glimpse into the future with the upcoming Project Kennan Asus handheld.

🤦 The current consoles ALREADY do emulation to run Xbox & Xbox 360 games... Aka, LITERALLY NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE!

And tunning Xbox One & Series games won't require emulation, whatsoever, as they thankfully use the exact same x86 architecture that PC's do, so you can just do a super low overhead API code translation layer similar to Valve's Proton to play Windows games on Linux. 🤷

Pointless article is pointless. People are stirring themselves into a frenzy over a giant pile of nothing... 🤦😑

Current Xbox consoles are already basically just Windows PCs. Xbox One consoles and onwards literally run a modified version of Windows, on modified PC hardware, using the same architecture PCs do.
