Microsoft is preparing to add Xbox 360 game support to PC through a disc-to-digital conversion feature and an emulator-based backwards compatibility program expected in 2027, according to a report. The company has been expanding backwards compatibility for its consoles, having already enabled Xbox One titles on PC and introduced a disc-to-digital system for Xbox Series X owners. The Verge reported that Microsoft is working with publishers to approve Xbox 360 titles for the PC emulator layer, which would allow users to insert a physical disc and receive a digital licence tied to their account. The conversion would also apply to Play Anywhere titles that support the feature, granting access on both Xbox and PC. The disc-to-digital conversion for Xbox Series X owners is slated to launch within weeks, while the Xbox 360 compatibility program is expected to roll out in 2027, though a specific release date has not been announced. The extent to which the program will be adopted and how it will affect existing digital purchases remain undetermined.
