Microsoft will not
love this news but developers have emulated old Sony
PlayStation games onto the new Microsoft Xbox Series X and S gaming
consoles.
Using a technology
called RetroArch emulator, developers worked on the "Developer Mode"
in Xbox
Series X/S gaming consoles which can help add the emulation software as a
Universal Windows Application (UWA).
It allows users to
download a retail version of the emulation software directly to their gaming
console, reports The Verge.
Microsoft doesn't
officially support this kind of emulation and PCSX2 support is still in progress.
To add RetroArch
to Xbox using Developer Mod, one needs to pay a $19 registration fee to be part
of Microsoft's Developer programme.
They can then
download the "Dev mode activation" app from the Xbox store.
Once the app is
downloaded, one can connect to your Xbox from a web browser using your local
network and add the RetroArch UWA files.
However, the
newly-launched Sony PlayStation 5 does not offer this functionality. The new
gaming console is only natively backwards compatible with PlayStation 4 games.
Sony only offers
the option to play PS3 and PS2 games using its PS Now game streaming service.
Sony has confirmed
to refill its PlayStation 5 stock by the end of the year after the
newly-launched gaming consoles were sold out in its biggest launch ever.
