Play More of the Games You Love, Wherever You Play with XBOX Backward Compatibility on PC - XBOX Wire

Today, we’re introducing XBOX Backward Compatibility on PC, making it easier to play classic XBOX games from the past across PC and handhelds, including the ROG XBOX Ally and XBOX Ally X.

Players can customize graphics settings, including up to 4x resolution upscaling, VSync support, Fullscreen and Windowed display modes, anisotropic filtering, enhanced anti-aliasing, and more. These games also include customizable language and audio settings.

Based on the language of this being an early release, I’m assuming there are more titles in the works.

$10 a piece also seems like a reasonable price, I’d probably pirate them anyway but for paying customers that seems good.

      Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Microsoft’s complicity in Israel’s apartheid and genocide is well documented, exposing its strong ties to the Israeli military, its collaboration with Israeli government ministries, and its involvement in the Israeli prison system, which is notorious for systematic torture and abuse of Palestinians. Microsoft knowingly provides Israel with technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), that is deployed to facilitate grave human rights violations, war crimes, crimes against humanity (including apartheid), as well as genocide. In light of the International Court of Justice’s legally-binding rulings to prevent Israel’s plausible genocide in Gaza, as well as its July 19 Advisory Opinion affirming Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid system, Microsoft has failed its corporate obligation to prevent genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Microsoft, as well as its boards of directors and executives, may face criminal liability for this complicity.

      Microsoft provides the Israeli military with Azure cloud and AI services that are crucial in empowering and accelerating Israel’s genocidal war on 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip. Microsoft’s extensive ties with Israel’s military are revealed in investigations by The Guardian with the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine, demonstrating how the Israeli military turned to Microsoft to meet the technological demands of genocide.

      Yes, Microsoft is the subject of boycott due to enabling & supporting the genocide in Gaza, primarily. Them and Amazon both have the sort of role in that that IBM did in the third reich, shall we say.

      My opinion is that the boycott is in most cases the least anyone in the imperial core can do for the people of Palestine, literally just not put money in the pockets of corps with involvement in a genocide…

      however

      I know scolding people isn’t super productive but it bugs me constantly seeing people give money to M$. Shit company anyway, haven’t used any of their stuff in years.
