It's the bare minimum. It's expected... but don't act like it's easy. MS has games from the 360 era, and OG Xbox era.. Those are all vastly different architectures. Sony has their own challenges due to how games run on their hardware and functions. Nintendo would have their challenges too if they wanted to include hardware based support for previous console generations before the Switch.. Link to post Share on other sites

But tbh even with Steam on their box it's hard to give a shit about their hardware if everything is also on PS5/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

lynux3 2,496 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 This has been a thing for a long time. Microsoft announcing it is just news of an already ongoing effort made into a team just like any other multi generation hardware maker. Link to post Share on other sites
