:The emulator that's made it the furthest so far. Progress on it is surprisingly fast. Only a relatively small number About 15% of games are playable, though, titles can be played through from start to finish and those that are playable largely another 60% have issues and run slowlyfunctional gameplay. :The Though the devs have no plans on releasing Xenia for say Windows 7 at this time8/8.:The new DirectX12 branch making 1 is compatible, the most significant progress is being made on the newer DirectX 12 branch (DX12 is available only available for on Windows 7/10/11).

:The official emulator on the [[Xbox One emulators|Xbox One]] and [[Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X/S]] consoles, supports a growing (500+) [[wikipedia:List of Xbox 360 games compatible with Xbox One|list 632 out of 2085 games]]. Load times are faster, but emulation suffers from input lag due to forced [[vsync]]. Beyond this, playback is incredibly faithful to the original system. Xbox One X and Xbox Series X improves on the emulation further with better framerate, texture filtering and , higher resolution and auto HDR in some games. Note that an Internet connection is required to download each game on the its first run of each game to download.
==Emulation issues==
<blockquote>[Xenos] was a playground for experiments — it was developed near the end of the Direct3D 9 era, but still before Direct3D 10, and contained many features not standardized or even available at all on the PC, but when they ended up on the PC, the actual implementation could be significantly different; it also included completely unique features. [...] Contrary to a common misconception, the Xbox 360 [isn't] just a “DirectX 9 box”. It essentially contains a [tile-inspired] mobile-like GPU, though with much more raw power than a comparable mobile GPU. If you compare the registers of the Xenos and the Qualcomm Adreno 200, you can see that most of them are the same, as they are almost the same GPUs — the Adreno 200 was called the AMD Z430 before having been acquired by Qualcomm, and was even referred to as the "mini-Xenos"!"<br>-Triang3l<ref>Triang3l (April 27, 2021).

Due to requiring a large number of resources (see [[Dolphin]] and [[PCSX2]] for specifications for their respective consoles), as well as the hardware not being properly documented yet, '''Xbox 360 emulation currently isn't at a point where people can reliably emulate games.''' However, Xenia is quickly making progress on that front. That, plus the fact that Microsoft has implemented their own official emulation of the system through the Xbox One brings much promise to successfully emulating the system in the future.
==Kinect==
The [[wikipedia:Kinect|Kinect]] is a device that works just like was Microsoft's version of the [http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/[PlayStation_2_emulators#EyeToy |EyeToy] for the [[PlayStation_2_emulators|PS2]]. It is , a camera that also doubled as a motion tracker and microphone capable of detecting gestures and voices in order to play games without any controllers unlike a controller. This was in contrast to the [[Wii_emulators|Wii]] and its Wiimote; , and the [[PlayStation_3_emulators|PS3]] and its PlayStation Move.While benefiting from Despite getting native support on PCWindows, users still have made [https://openkinect.org/wiki/Main_Page open-source drivers] for it.
[[Xenia]] is doesn't support the only Xbox 360 emulator out there yet, Kinect and it the team doesn't plan to add support Kinect and no work is getting done in this directionfor it anytime soon. That does not mean that we will never be able to play Kinect Games with Although the developers said it, was possible they might work on it but they just means that developers have higher-level or prioritized issues need to tackle at the momentfocus on bigger problems and more important stuff.
