The possibility of emulating Xbox 360 games on Xbox Series X | S is something that the entire community has been waiting for since the launch of Microsoft’s next-generation consoles. Although there are emulators of all kinds for computers, the world of emulation on consoles is another story, but the arrival of Xbox Series X | S brought compatibility with most of themgiving us a huge range of possibilities.
This time, the news has been an emulator that will allow us to play Xbox 360 games on Xbox Series X|S without having to modify our console, being a completely legal application that can be downloaded without problems. Xenia, which is what the emulator is called, has a particularity that current generation consoles do not have, and that is that according to its developers, all Xbox 360 games can be played regardless of whether or not they are backward compatible with Xbox Series X|S.

But all that glitters is not gold. Although we are told that we will be able to play all Xbox 360 games, it does not mean that this can currently be done, since compatibility with most of Microsoft’s console titles is yet to come. Although we will be able to play some titles, in most of them we will find sound errors, synchronization or simply they will not work. Before writing these lines, we have tried titles like Project Zero 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, and we have only been able to play MGS Peace Walker and Castlevania, the latter with serious sound errors .
