The Xbox guide needs to be rebuilt for cloud gaming.

Tristen Onofry · Jan 4, 2023

There is a piece of Xbox Cloud Gaming that would improve it and make it apart from other cloud gaming platforms. This idea has three parts:
First, develop the Xbox guide menu on the home page of the web app on Safari, the website, and apps on PCs, Androids, and Samson TVs to allow you to join games and parties without having to launch a game to see what your friends and family members are doing. The touchscreen devices would be better to navigate if the Xbox guide menu had native touchscreen controls.
Second, have a way to join friends and family members when they invite you to a game from the home screen or allow you to switch between games while you are in another game. This is similar to how you can join other people on the home page or with an invitation by saving and quitting the game that you are playing and launching into the same lobby as the person with the same command.
Third, add a pop-up that gives two options which are download or play through the cloud if you don't have a game downloaded to your device. When you click on the second option play through the cloud then it will take you into the game following the command stated in the second part.

The original games hooked in to the original Xbox live infrastructure which no longer exists.

The games multiplayer element would need to be rebuilt to make it work and that won't happen for many reasons. Sadly.

Obsessive Power

Xbox 360 Backward compatible games need to be downloaded due to the fact the game has to have the emulator installed with it (if you press the menu and view buttons at the same time it brings up the Xbox 360 guide).

That's not strictly true. Xbox 360 games running on Xbox One or Series X|S are not emulated. The 360 and original Xbox games that the BC team made available are, essentially, rebuilt games. The BC team took these 32-bit PowerPC (For Xbox 360) engineered games and converted/recompiled/reverse engineered (or whatever other term you want to use) to be Xbox One native games, running inside an Xbox mini guide emulator or virtual machine.

To the Topic creator:

Since an Xbox 360 BC disc contains data that is not compatible with the Xbox One or Series X|S the user is required to download an 'update' to get the rebuilt game that SwordofWhedon referred to in their post.

I guess 'update' would be a completely wrong word for this, but since most console users are not technically minded, 'update' is probably the best word they could think to use without over complicating things. In the end it's all just semantics.

Only the Xbox 360 mini guide is actually emulated and even that term wouldn't be quite correct.

Hi, you should be able to transfer your saved games to the cloud and then transfer them from the cloud onto your new Xbox. But this might require a license transfer from one Xbox to the other. Below are some guide to help you.

Hey Chris

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently inquiring about cloud gaming on your mobile device.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate does indeed include
cloud gaming. Therefor, once you have the subscription, you merely need to download the
Xbox Game Pass (Beta) and can continue to play these games on your mobile device while you have the subscription.

This also means, that as long as the game stays in Game Pass, you will not need to purchase the game itself, merely any additional DLC or in-game currencies you would like to have. You can read up a bit more on this via

this article.

I hope this helps.
