🖥 Xbox, PC, Multi-platformThe next Xbox could play every Xbox game ever made
The next Xbox, Project Helix, could theoretically have the largest library of any home console. Not only will it play PC games, but we now know, courtesy of a leaked memo obtained by The Verge's Tom Warren, that it will run games from every generation of Xbox: the original 2001 Xbox, the 2005 Xbox 360, &8230;
🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Could Be Planning To Make Xbox 360 Games Playable On PC
Xbox 360 games could be coming to PC, as a new report claims that Microsoft is aiming to bring classic titles from a bygone era to new platforms. According to the document (via The Verge(https://www.theverge.com/games/974544/microsoft-xbox-360-games-pc-disc-digital-program)), Xbox 360 games will also be playable on "Xbox PCs," handheld gaming PCs, and Microsoft's upcoming Xbox Series X|S successor, Project Helix(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/next-xbox-release-date-specs-display-price/1100-6525379/). This expanded backwards compatibility will tie into a larger roadmap for upcoming features. The report also claims that developers who make their Xbox 360 games compatible with PC will be allowed to set their own price and decide if they want their title to be available through Xbox Game Pass. This follows Microsoft's recent announcement of original Xbox games for PC(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-brings-backwards-compatibility-to-pc-starting-with-four-classics/), with the first four titles--Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Fuzion Frenzy, Conker: Live and Reloaded, and Crimson Skies: High Road--now available to download. The feature will reportedly roll out between 2027 and 2028, and the report also mentioned a few more details on Microsoft's disc-to-digital program that could pave the way for an all-digital future. Players who insert a game disc into an Xbox console equipped with a disc drive will gain a digital license tied to their account, but if that disc "changes hands," the license will automatically transfer to the new account. Theoretically, this could mean that a player can still swap and trade their game disc, and once done, they'll lose access to their digital license. The Verge added that the beta for the disc-to-digital program has been delayed to an unspecified time. Microsoft's approach is also massively different to how its rival Sony is approaching the idea of games being purely digital products, as the company announced that it will end production of physical game discs(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-sony-is-killing-disc-based-playstation-games-and-the-implications-for-ps6-and-beyond/) in January 2028. The backlash so far has been massive, and following a few weeks of radio silence, Sony cautiously addressed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-defends-going-digital-but-says-it-understands-players-love-of-physical-ps5-games/) the overwhelmingly negative feedback it had received during an investors' call last week. Meanwhile, Xbox faces several challenges of its own. Recent layoffs(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-after-the-layoffs-studios-left-and-what-theyre-making/) have hit several studios hard, while European consumers have been absolutely hammered by massive console price hikes(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-price-hikes-are-now-in-effect-worldwide/). Driven by component shortages fueled by AI investment, Microsoft hasn't ruled out another price hike in 2027(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-may-have-another-price-hike-up-its-sleeve-in-2027/), either.
