Microsoft is planning to bring Xbox 360 games to PC, following the recent rollout of original Xbox titles. According to a memo obtained by Tom Warren, Microsoft is asking developers to opt into the new program, handling emulation and customer support while developers only need to approve their games for sale and set a price.
“Microsoft just started bringing original Xbox games to the PC the other week and now it's planning to bring Xbox 360 games as well.”
“My colleague Tom Warren has the scoop on a memo that Microsoft sent around to developers asking them to opt in to the new program.”
“Microsoft will handle all the emulation hurdles, even customer support.”
“Microsoft's argument is why not do it? It's free cash.”
“The rollout is supposed to begin next year.”
