This is really cool: Emulating the Xbox 360 on Steam Deck

If you're a Steam Deck owner, you'll be happy to know that the console can run some Xbox 360 games thanks to Xenia.

Emulation is the only real form of game preservation.

JCM42652d ago (Edited 652d ago )

whomever is downvoting you is a complete retard...

guys wake up... emulation isn't about piracy, it's about preservation, like a museum.

look up projects like TOSEC and MAME, you can find games from the early Atari and Amiga era, if it wasn't for those projects, those precious historical gaming gems would be lost for all generations, present and future.

Look beyond what's in front of your nose to see the big picture!

It's incredible that you can carry around a device that's actually capable of emulating PS3, Xbox 360 and Switch, while playing PC games like Spider-man, Cyberpunk, RDR2, etc. Valve have really outdone themselves.

Xenia and rpcs3 is a little too hit it miss to fully add that to the list. The only game I've been able to run hiccup free that I have tested on steam is lollipop chainsaw on rpcs3. Xenia runs on windows so you would have to install that first.

Fix the title: Portable PC emulates to what amount to a PC...

That's not good. The Deck is struggling.

blanka45451d 17h ago

Too demanding of a game that is only one game no problem. fsr 3 mod will be there

anast1d 16h ago

There are a lot of games that are like this.

God of War Ragnarok gets PC release date, but Steam Deck compatibility is still uncertain

God of War Ragnarok gets an official release date on the Steam Store, but Steam Deck fans are left uncertain about its fate on the handheld.

anast4d ago

It will be listed as "playable".

Michiel19894d ago

I don't see it running any good on the steamdeck but maybe if they introduce enough options to lower the settings it might run semi decent.

Amplitude4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Its literally a PS4 game, and likely will be able to lower settings even lower than that.

Assume low and medium settings, FSR2 Quality mode 720p, and an unstable 45fps or a stable 40fps like any other PS4 era port (Uncharted 4 for example). It'll be fine on the Deck if it's your only option

anast4d ago

Same, it won't be "Deck verified" for sure.

smashman984d ago

Amplitude beat me to it. I'd like to add that games like returnal and ratchet and clank rift apart run on the deck and those are actual ps5 games.

just_looken4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

It should sense the games were made for hardware 12 years ago

Do not forget your precious god of war was made for the ps4 console first a console wayyy weaker than the steamdeck.

Most games listed as playable are only that way due to needing to use the on-screen keyboard or some adjacent thing.

anast4d ago

GoW will be playable on the lowest setting possible, but it wont look good.

just_looken4d ago

I bet you it might be down to the stupid psn crap were it needs the server handshake or some bs for the trophies to work.

smashman983d ago

It depends on your definition of good I guess. I use my Steam deck to play my games natively when I'm away from my PC so admittedly when I'm on the deck fidelity doesn't matter as much to me.

Steam Deck now has a bigger games library than the Nintendo Switch by some margin

Steam Deck officially supports a massive amount of games, easily providing players more choice than what is available on the Nintendo Switch.

UltimateOwnage12d ago

It's much larger than that, if you factor emulation and how easy it is to run pretty much any "unsupported" game on the Deck using Bottles.

FinalFantasyFanatic11d ago

It's insane how most games I've thrown at it have worked with little to no effort on my part, some of my games run better on Linux than Windows.

notachance12d ago

technically speaking it also includes Nintendo Switch libraries..

Espangerish11d ago

Even without emulation, it’s massively broader than switch. This is so obvious I’m surprised it’s merited an article.

Yui_Suzumiya11d ago

Can't wait to get a Steam Deck OLED soon!

FinalFantasyFanatic11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

You'll enjoy it, I only got the 512GB model because I wasn't sure if I'd like it, I should have bought the 1TB model, but I guess I can add in a 2TB drive when SSD prices relax again.

I actually played Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on it a few days ago.
