A new community project announced earlier this month is finally giving emulation fans a potential way to play Xbox One games on Windows PCs, overcoming one of the biggest hurdles for console emulation
in recent memory.
XWine1 isn’t an emulator; rather, it’s a translation layer that takes Xbox software and “translates” it to run on a Windows PC. This is similar to how the Proton compatibility layer works on the Steam Deck, taking Windows titles and making them compatible with the Deck’s Linux-based OS. Recommended Videos The XWine1 team said in its initial announcement on September 8 that only six games were fully playable, including Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Limbo, Peggle 2, Undertale, and Sonic Mania. Since then, other games have been shown to at least partially work with the layer. They can get past the intros in Forza Horizon 2, for example, and can reach the menu for Forza Horizon 3.Currently six games are fully playable, with others reaching logos and in-game.

Finally! Xbox One Emulation is here The project, as you can imagine, is still in the early stages of development and isn’t available for public download. When it is ready, the developers say it’ll likely be open source. There are plenty of Xbox One exclusives it can potentially make playable, including Halo 5: Guardians. Granted, the Xbox Series X and S are backward compatible with Xbox One games, so console exclusives like Guardians aren’t lost forever regardless of if the XWine1 team can pull this off. Still, this is a huge move in the emulation community, and great for game preservation in the event that these games lose modern console or PC support.
