Xbox’s next-gen VP, Jason Ronald, explained at the Game Developers Conference that the preservation team has been working for years to ensure these older games can be experienced by new players in “entirely new ways.” While specifics haven’t been revealed, this approach builds on existing modernization efforts like auto HDR and FPS Boost, showing Xbox’s commitment to keeping its legacy games alive and playable for future generations.
Xbox is leaning into its history while looking to the future. As part of its 25th anniversary, the company plans to re-release a selection of classic titles—currently unnamed—under its Project Helix initiative, emphasizing game preservation.
