A leaked document sent to developers reveals Microsoft's plans to bring Xbox 360 games to PC. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to expand its backward compatibility program, which recently saw some original Xbox titles launch on PC. Developers will be able to opt-in to make their Xbox 360 titles available, controlling pricing and Game Pass availability.
The plan also mentions a "disc to digital" program, allowing players to get digital licenses for physical games they own. These initiatives are designed to build a unified library for future hardware, including a next-generation "Project Helix" console, "Xbox PCs," and handheld devices, with a gradual rollout of the Xbox 360 catalog planned between 2027 and 2028.
