The biggest unofficial Xbox 360 emulator "is by no means associated with, nor working alongside Microsoft in any capacity" despite rumors about Xbox's preservation efforts

Halo 3.

Last week, rumors began to circulate that Microsoft was making plans to work alongside the devs of Xenia, an unofficial Xbox 360 emulator, to bring more classic Xbox games to more modern platforms. It seems, however, that this one should never have escaped the rumor mill, as the devs behind the emulator have directly denied the report.

"The Xenia (and Xenia Canary, by extension) team is by no means associated with, nor working alongside Microsoft in any capacity," contributor JeBobs says on the Xenia Discord. "Microsoft uses their own emulation to provide backwards compatibility on Xbox One/Series consoles and as such has no reason to collaborate with Xenia, even if they decided to bring these titles to PC."
