Weekly Dose of Gaming News - Using the Xbox to Play PS2 Games

The PS5 doesn't have backwards compatibility, but that's not a problem for retro fans like Modern Vintage Gamer on YouTube.

Apparently some people are using the Xbox to play PS2 games with an emulation software calledĀ RetroArch, and the developer mode available with the Xbox series S. It runs incredibly well aside from the occasional bug, and we can't help but find it pretty funny that the PS5 can't run any of the classic PlayStation games, but the Xbox can.

Regardless of how they got there it was neat to see games like God of War being played while holding up its frame rate and showing only some minor texture issues according to Modern Vintage Gamer.

Would you be interested in emulating some classic PS2 games?
