Recently, Microsoft revealed that the company is bringing the ability to play Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One. Surprisingly enough, the company isn’t stopping there. Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox wants the ability to play Xbox 360 on the PC. In an interview with Gizmodo Brazil, Phil stated:
“[Xbox games on Xbox One is] something I want to do, but it is a matter of priority. I would love to have the ability to play Xbox 360 on PC at some point too, so we have different things we have to think about when we plan these things. But it would be great to have support for original Xbox games. So yes, I want it, but we have many other things we want to do as well.”
That would be so good for so many people, you wouldn't need to buy all the games then if you have them already on 360 like Minecraft, all the cods etc etc..
GT86 Bring on Forza! I miss that game, I don't see this happening though to be honest. I mean it seems a bit far-fetched.
They've done it already..They did it with Forza 5. They literally presented the game and showed it off, PC ready. Than said, our goal isn't to make PC game >.> So after having a Team port it..They shut the project down and never sold it.
Porting the games isn't hard, if you have the original code and know what you're doing. I think the problem is, it takes time for each game. They could just do an emulator program though, maybe? It'd take a year or so for the main program. Than a few months per game.
The xbox one console is an x86 console so it wouldnt take that long to port what they already have over. A lone developer has also been working on 360 emulation, its called the Xenia project.
