Codename '''Fission''' is the official [[Xbox emulators|Xbox]] and [[Xbox 360 emulators|Xbox 360]] emulator made by Microsoft to allow for backwards compatibility on the [[Xbox One emulators|Xbox One]] and [[Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X/S]]. 

==Overview==
Its development was announced in June 2015 and the first batch of games were released on November 12. It was originally released as an Xbox 360 only emulator, but original Xbox emulation was later added in 2017 due to popular demand. The last batch of games were added to the emulator on November 15, 2021, due to licensing and technical issues.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211115215743/https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/11/15/70-new-backward-compatible-games/ Celebrate 20 years of Xbox with over 70 new Backward Compatible Games]</ref>. It supports 632 Xbox 360 games and 63 original Xbox games<ref>[https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backward-compatibility Official compatibility list]</ref>.

Most backwards compatible games can be purchased and downloaded through the Microsoft store, or inserted via the disc drive. Unlike the previous [[FU|Fusion]] emulator for the 360, games do not run directly from the disc, and the Xbox One or Series X/S must be connected to the internet for DRM purposes. When a disc is inserted, a prompt saying an update is required to start the game will appear, accepting the prompt will download a repackaged version of the game to fit the Xbox One or Series X/S format.

Several original Xbox and Xbox 360 games are enhanced for the Xbox One X. The enhancements include improved graphics, new visual effects, higher framerates, and upgraded resolutions up to 4K<ref>[https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-one/xbox-one-x-enhanced-list Xbox One X Enhanced Games List]</ref><ref>[[Wikipedia:List_of_backward-compatible_games_for_Xbox_One_and_Series_X/S|Wikipedia - List of backward-compatible games for Xbox One and Series X/S]]</ref>.

Two select original Xbox games ''do not'' download as the original versions when their discs are inserted. ''Battlefield 2: Modern Combat'' and ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' will instead download as the 360 versions of these games.

The emulator has actually been dumped from the Xbox One's OS, see [https://xboxoneresearch.github.io/wiki/games/xeo3-x360-classic-xbox-emulator/ this page].
