Xbox's Phil Spencer Has a Positive Take on Emulation

One of the great problems that video games have regarding the rest of entertainment and culture within the society of a country, is that of the preservation and conservation of the works. Through the emulation, it is achieved that past titles are not in memory and can recover and remain played with current hardware; But, as we have recently checked with the case of Nintendo 64 in Switch, it is not always done well.

Therefore, approaching this problem on a larger scale and with a common direction is a good way to start solving it, and it is something they want to try from Xbox. It has been Phil Spencer who, in statements to Stephen Total in Axis, has made clear his intentions and the hope of him: He wants the industry to work in a legal emulation.

In spite of everything, no new or more concrete plan has been detailed to continue looking for preservation and conservation, but let s not forget the importance that Xbox Game Pass currently has, nor from the new recompatible titles of Xbox announced. Microsoft will continue to insist on its strategy, which also includes working to try to get the development of video games, in the not too distant future, accessible for everyone.

The problem about the conservation of video games is not new, and we have treated it in depth in 3D games over the years. In a report published in this house, Toni Piedrabuena reflected on emulation as a method and was a step further, wondering if, in addition to the companies, The user is really interested to preserve the legacy of the leisure of it.
