The definitive guide to Xbox emulation on the Steam Deck (2026 update)
The original Xbox – the behemoth freshman entry in Microsoft's once-great console brand – was a true legend. With titles ranging from Fuzion Frenzy to Halo, the Unreal Championship series, Ninja Gaidan, Tony Hawk, and even Conker: Live & Reloaded, the original Xbox made a name for itself catering to a more adult

Thanks to @…, I'm now the owner of a Steam Deck! 🤯 Just loaded 100 games on it from the collection, and now the true test, as many are older indies - only a few of the ones I loaded are sure to work. 😂 But testing them all and finding out will be interesting.
