TerryLaze Wooooow a whole 4 games and you have to already own them digitally, look at all that preservation. *enter 'the sound of music' meme here* Will be extremely interested to see if these actually are "backwards compatibility" or remakes/masters, for a lot of their previous ones you had to download a whole new version of the game.

usertests What's going on under the hood, Xenia Xemu emulator? I think legal problems outweigh technical. It shouldn't be difficult to put an OG Xbox disc in Xbox Series S or PC and play it. Reply

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking that it's remakes, if they use an emulator you could just stick your old disk in and it would work but they make a point of it only working for digital license. Reply

They aren't remakes or remasters unless titled as such. All of their backwards compatibility to date has effectively been game specific emulation and/or code recompilation. Due to this even when using a disc backwards compatibility has always required some form of downloading. usertests said: I think legal problems outweigh technical. It shouldn't be difficult to put an OG Xbox disc in Xbox Series S or PC and play it. There's no problem either way because on the console side you can just pop in the disc to get the download. I'm not really sure why they haven't enabled this on the PC side of things unless it has to do with the authentication they use for disc drives on console. Reply
