XCloud on XBOX 360

seba_dav_ · April 25, 2021

So yesterday i was on my couch with my surface go playing some xcloud, when I noticed my old and dusty xbox 360 in the background, so i thought: “wouldn’t it be cool if i could play all of these new games on that old xbox?”.

I started searching and it turns out that no one ever thought of this (or at least made it public).

What do you think about this?
Should Microsoft make this a thing?

Also, do you know if xbox 360 development is still a thing? I mean, if they haven’t closed the SDKs, it would theoretically be possible to slap a chromium distro on the 360 and play xcloud through a browser.

As far as I know the 360 is on life support basically and that is it.

Another problem is that slapping a chromium distro on there isn't that simple as well the hardware lacks A LOT of hardware acceleration used for xcloud that even basic devices have nowadays but a device from 2005 of course doesn't have.
