While this was a highly celebrated feature, Microsoft went ahead and shut it down, which was expected, but still disappointing. All hope wasn’t entirely lost though, as users could pay a fee to unlock developer moment, which was certainly an option but not one worth a lot of people’s time and money.

The developers will happily share the secret of Xbox emulation for the low, low price of $2 on Patreon, which is a pretty sweet deal for almost unlimited games on one console. The reason the secret is behind the lock and key (a paywall) is that Microsoft will likely want to know what the work-around is so they can close it again.

In the meantime though, Xbox Series X owners can enjoy an enormously extended library of games for practically nothing, which is well-worth it, especially if you’re into the history of games or fancy replaying titles from your childhood.
