Imagine being able to play Otogi, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and Jet Set Radio Future on the PC. If Phil has his way, you’ll get to do just that, and the chances of this happening may actually be very good due to the original Xbox’s architecture: the console used an x86 chip, which should make emulation easier compared to the 360's PowerPC hardware. Microsoft’s game subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, may also make its way to the PC, granting you a library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games to play for $10 a month.
"The original Xbox, OG Xbox, is a little bit easier, because that was an x86 chip it was running on. Obviously when we think about UWP and the ability for games to run across console and PC, we're getting closer. I want developers to be able to build portable applications, which is why we've been focusing on UWP for games and even apps that want to run on multiple devices. "So I think we've got work to go do there, but I think it's in our future."
