It is rumored that Microsoft is working with the Xenia Canary emulator team to plan to port the first generation of Xbox and Xbox 360 games to PC, XGP and xCloud platforms through the "Xbox Classic Games" project.

The well-known blogger and insider eXtas1s broke the news in a new video that Microsoft is working directly with the development team of the well-known open source Xbox 360 emulator Xenia Canary to promote a new simulation plan code-named "Xbox Classic Games".Called Microsoft's most ambitious game save plan to date, this is expected to be fully launched on the 25th anniversary of the Xbox brand in 2026.

It is revealed that the "Xbox Classic Game" plan is far beyond Microsoft's previous downward compatible projects.Unlike the previous practice of selectively adding classic games to the Xbox Series X|S platform, Microsoft is building a scalable multi-platform simulation system to enable the perfect compatibility of picture enhancement and frame rate improvement on portable devices such as XGP, PC, xCloud and even Asus ROG Ally.According to reports, Microsoft has included the Xenia team in its official third-party cooperation lineup, and the Canary version it developed is recognized as the most stable and comprehensive Xbox 360 emulator at present.

Each classic game will be available in three optimized versions: console version, PC version and cloud game version, with the cloud version using AMD server infrastructure to ensure operational efficiency and stability.Works such as "Fables 2", "Skateboard 3", "Gears of War 3", "Batman: Arkham Asylum" have been tested internally, and games such as "The Godfather of the Streets of New York", "The Way to Survive 2", and "Prince of Persia (2008)" are also on the list of shortlists for evaluation.
