Dataminers Discover Xbox Backward Compatibility On PC Can Run Xbox 360 Games
Kotaku · 2026-07-25
Microsoft's Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC service has unofficially shown capability to run Xbox 360 games, despite currently only offering four original Xbox titles. This development, previously predicted by Lunarixus, suggests the emulator is more powerful than officially presented, albeit with "varying degrees of success." This confirmation aligns with expectations that Microsoft's new PC emulator would eventually support Xbox 360 games. The potential for Xbox 360 emulation is significant for titles like *Lost Odyssey* and *Blue Dragon*, which remain console exclusives. Hopes are high for *Fable 2* to become more widely available, particularly before the *Fable* reboot launches next year.
