Microsoft's overseer of the Xbox division, Phil Spencer, confirms that he'd love to bring an official Xbox 360 emulator to the PC platform. However, he quickly notes that, right now, the focus is on Xbox 360 backwards compatibility on the Xbox One, as well as on other, more pressing projects.

Microsoft's Xbox One hasn't gone through the best of times after its initial rollout in November of 2013. However, with the naming of Phil Spencer as the boss of the Xbox division, things have gotten much better.

This November, not only is the Xbox One getting a whole new operating system based on the Windows 10 OS but it's also set to receive some surprising features, such as support for backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games.

Spencer wants to take advantage of older games and consoles

Of course, Microsoft is thinking about the future and Spencer confirms to Gizmodo Brazil that he'd love to see support for original Xbox titles on the Xbox One, not to mention an official Xbox 360 emulator for the PC platform.

He confirms that, while these wishes are coming from him personally, Microsoft is still focusing a lot on its current priorities, which include the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility and the New Xbox One Experience update.

He also mentions that fans want a lot of bigger or smaller things added to the Xbox One's list of features, so who knows when his team will be able to allocate resources to these other projects.

There are some community-based efforts to bring Xbox 360 emulation to the PC platform, but right now things aren't progressing all that well due to the complex hardware architecture used by the old console.

As such, at least until an official solution might appear, the only way to enjoy Xbox 360 games on PC is to link your Xbox One to your Windows 10 computer once backwards compatibility arrives next month.
