This is how you play PS1 games on an Xbox Series X and S

Hold on, play PS1 games on an Xbox Series X and S? How is that possible? We explain it to you.

The Xbox Series X and S have been on the market for less than a year. Nevertheless, it has already been successful to run an emulator on the consoles. This is DuckStation, where it is possible to play PS1 games on the Xbox Series X and S.

This is more than a simple emulator. DuckStation actually brings you a better playing experience of classic Playstation 1 games on the Xbox Series X and S. That’s because the games have been polished by a factor of 16. That means gaming at a much higher resolution. It won’t be as pretty as your romantic thoughts about the games of yesteryear, of course, but it’s significantly better than a standard emulator.

DuckStation says they got the emulator working properly thanks to DirectX12 on the Xbox Series X and S. Furthermore, they say the PS1 emulator aims to provide speed, accuracy and good gaming performance in the long run. Sounds good!

Okay, but what are those words worth without proof? DuckStation understands that and has made a demonstration video. Check out the video below to see PS1 games on an Xbox Series S/X in action.
