Yeha but the pessimist in me thinks of box's backwards compatibility where only the games they curated would work. Still can't play eternal sonata anymore.

Just as a heads up, Eternal Sonata was released on the PS3 and Xbox360. Both RCPS3 and Xenia can play Eternal Sonata even on a steamdeck. If they wont let you play it legitimately, and youve bought a copy for your old systems... thats more than enough justification to emulate in my books.

That would surprise me. It just doesn't sound like their flavour of bullshit.

Pretty sure you can still play Eternal Sonata on the last 3 generations of Xbox.

Nah it was never added to backwards compatibility on the xbone or series X. I tried so many times with hope in my eyes to put the disc in and nada.

Man I'm so sorry to hear that. For me it was Lucasarts' Gladius and they finally did add that one somewhat recently. It's the only game I was keeping my original Xbox for.
