"We do a lil port'n, and a lil polish'n": This classic Fallout game is getting a fan-made Xbox port developed with a 20-year-old homebrew framework

Fallout 2.

While most of the big Fallout games — including Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 — are all playable on Xbox consoles thanks to official Xbox 360 releases and Xbox Backwards Compatibility, the same can't be said for the classic titles made by Interplay Entertainment. Indeed, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics are all exclusive to PC, and haven't gotten console ports.

In the near future, however, it's entirely possible that you'll be able to play all of Fallout 2 on the original Xbox console — provided you have one and are willing to dive down the rabbit hole of modding it. That's thanks to Milenko (@dtoxmilenko on X), who's actively working on a fan-made port of the RPG to the system.
