AFAIK it's only on mobile for now, but desktop/browser alpha screenshots have leaked.I can't remember if this is in pilot but has X-Cloud been installed on Windows or is it only live in Mobile device?
This is very nice move by Xbox.
I'm 99% certain that program is dead.
I mean it's quite possible that they did. The only thing is there are tons of games that people want on backward compatible, but we still haven't seen anything new in 2 years now.
Would you want to play Ninja Gaiden over streaming?No Ninja Gaiden??
What ms studios titles are not bc yet? Some niche kinect games?
There's way more to licensing than who published the game, especially if the game existed before digital copies were really a thing.
If by "shutdown the BC teams", you mean working on validating thousands of XB1 games on Series consoles, implementing Auto-HDR, implementing FPS Boost, and getting Backwards Compatible games running on XCloud, then yes, they are totally shutdown and not working at all.
So they havent been able to do any in months?If by "shutdown the BC teams", you mean working on validating thousands of XB1 games on Series consoles, implementing Auto-HDR, implementing FPS Boost, and getting Backwards Compatible games running on XCloud, then yes, they are totally shutdown and not working at all.
I hate that they have the nerve to call this backward compatibility, it's completely dishonest... I mean, Nintendo never called the eshop nes/snes/genesis/turbo grafx/neo geo/etc. Backward compatibility.
Nope.If by "shutdown the BC teams", you mean working on validating thousands of XB1 games on Series consoles, implementing Auto-HDR, implementing FPS Boost, and getting Backwards Compatible games running on XCloud, then yes, they are totally shutdown and not working at all.
Brute Force
I would choose A. I am old.
There is a beta app floating around out there if you want, got it on my surface laptop but might as well wait as I think it will be out soonI can't remember if this is in pilot but has X-Cloud been installed on Windows or is it only live in Mobile device?

Can you put an NES cart in a Switch or a PS1 disc in a PS5?
Can you just put a random 360/og xbox in you xbox one/series and expect it to run what's on the disc? What about your PC/other xcloud device? What about the digital only xbox models?
Doesn't really matter what the technical term is. It works, including the old cloud saves. That's all that matters.Can you just put a random 360/og xbox in you xbox one/series and expect it to run what's on the disc? What about your PC/other xcloud device? What about the digital only xbox models?
Nope, what MS calls BC is not even a proper emulation layer, it needs to download a recompiled binary to even work (on select few games). You guys are being manipulated.
Also, at its core backward compatibility has nothing to do with the medium where the application is stored, otherwise you wouldn't be able to claim your PC is backward compatible to any machine that had a floppy disc by example. Backward compatibility is about the ability to run binaries from an existing platform... Not, you get the disc, then download the program for your new system and use it with the old assets. By this definition a port of the doom engine that runs existing wads makes my ps3 backward compatible with PCs for some reason.... Well, everything that runs doom levels is Backwards compatible with the PC.
And what about that device:
plugs into your pc, run original carts for these old systems with an emulator... it's actually more valid as a "backward compat" layer.
You get the idea.

The term they use is misleading, words have a meaning , otherwise they are useless.
People are stupid, they will blindly repeat whatever marketing tells them.
Then PS5 isn't BC with PS4 either. Not all PS4 games even work on PS5.

Dont engage.Then PS5 isn't BC with PS4 either. Not all PS4 games even work on PS5.
Backward compatibility: PS4 games playable on PS5 consoles
The PlayStation®5 console is backward compatible with the overwhelming majority of PlayStation®4 games. That means an amazing collection of thousands of PS4™ games can be played on your PS5™ console.
Your selective reading skills are amazing 10/10 A+ etc.

You know he actually said that. You haven't read what he has been saying, have you? Oh you probably assumed he was taking a side in this invisible console war that you are fighting.Then PS5 isn't BC with PS4 either. Not all PS4 games even work on PS5.

So, people in Xbox threads don't like to have a conversation? It's a forum, you can choose to be part of a conversation or you can move on. I really don't understand why people get so uptight over this. If you don't want to discuss it, that's fine, just move on and let those discussing, discuss. lol
When they mate does it scratch that furry porn itch? Asking for a friend...
Meanings of words are fluid and decided by usage. Always were, always will be. Can you not think of a single word that means a different thing today than when you were a kid? There are thousands of them.
Yeah but in fairness to him once they've done that all that in the morning why aren't they then sorting out all the BC games in the afternoon, I mean its obviously really easy.....If by "shutdown the BC teams", you mean working on validating thousands of XB1 games on Series consoles, implementing Auto-HDR, implementing FPS Boost, and getting Backwards Compatible games running on XCloud, then yes, they are totally shutdown and not working at all.
This is stupid as fuck and you know it. If this is the level of discourse you want, why even post? Go rant into Twitter.
They did. Go search backwards compatibility Gaikai. That was always the main focus of discussion around that purchase.
You guys? I'm not defending MS here. I'd make the same post if someone was saying it about PS Now.
Thank you.
talking about e-waste hahahaCan you just put a random 360/og xbox in you xbox one/series and expect it to run what's on the disc? What about your PC/other xcloud device? What about the digital only xbox models?
