My research and AI’s responses seem inconsistent or unsatisfactory, so I prefer to ask these questions to Xbox players, thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond!
- Are the games actually emulated or are they just downloaded digitally using the disc as a key?
- Does the compatibility transform games significantly or is it a remaster-like optimization?
- Is it possible to use this feature offline therefore not caring about any Microsoft server support cessation?
- Are there significant differences in how backward-compatibility works on Xbox One versus Xbox Series X?
- What are some other aspects of this backwards compatibility feature that are worth mentioning?
Addendum for anyone interested in learning more: Xbox One should upscale games to around 1080p, while Xbox One X, Xbox One Series X/S and PS5 can upscale to 4K. If you have any further technical additions on upscale differences they are appreciated.
