When the well-known blogger Extas1s announced that Microsoft is developing a project to port the first-generation Xbox and Xbox 360 games to PC and Game Pass, the rumored partner Xenia denied the news.

In the official chat server of Xenia simulator mentioned by Extas1s, the team members immediately clarified that there was no such thing."This is fake news," said member Zolo Kluk. "Microsoft has an independently developed Xbox 360 emulator, and it is impossible to consult Xenia." He added: "If it were true, I should have been bound by a confidentiality agreement." Reporter Jez Corden also refuted the rumors on social media: "Microsoft is indeed promoting multi-platform games, but this specific project does not exist at all."

It is interesting to note that Extas1s still sticks to its statement."The full background is: Microsoft acquires sponsorship resources monthly through Git Hub, establishes cooperation with teams and individuals that contribute solutions or conducts talent acquisitions. Xenia just joined the program last month," he explained through a machine. "If the rumors are true, those who are bound by the confidentiality agreement have no choice but to deny it. Don't worry, 2026 will be clear."

So far, Microsoft has not responded to multiple verification requests.
