The '''[[Wikipedia:Xbox One|Xbox One]]''' is an eighth-generation home video game console produced by Microsoft on November 22, 2013, and was retailed for {{inflation|USD|499|2013}}. It had an AMD 8-core APU at 1.75 GHz and 8 gigabytes of RAM. It has an AMD GPU on the AMD Radeon GCN architecture. Early in its life, it was heavily criticized for intrusive [[wikipedia:Digital rights management|DRM]], such as always-online and lack of used game sharing. These have since been removed. Notably, this console runs on the [[wikipedia:x86|x86]] architecture with a modified Windows OS, so it's essentially a watered-down PC.

;Compatibility layers
:;XBONEmu
::XBONEmu is a compatibility layer but this is still in early development and will not work until Xbox One games have been fully dumped, decrypted and tested. It should also be noted that the developer states that the emulator is only made for XDK apps, not retail games.

;Native
:;Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One X/S
::Since Xbox One and later, [[Microsoft|Microsoft consoles]] utilize a cut-down version of Windows, they can all natively run backwards compatible games. However, games made before 2015 are running legacy Windows 8 games which are different to Windows 10 onwards, Microsoft probably made compatibility layers or updated games to the new Windows 10 platform.

The '''Xbox One X''' and '''Xbox One S''' are part of the eighth generation of home video game consoles (similar to [[PlayStation_4_emulators|PlayStation 4 Pro]]) produced by Microsoft. These consoles are often seen as a mid-gen refresh - sort of an eight-and-a-half generation console. The Xbox One X was released in November 2017 and featured upgraded specifications compared to the original Xbox One, including a more powerful GPU, increased RAM, and support for 4K gaming. The Xbox One S, released the year before in August 2016, offered improvements in design and size, as well as added support for HDR and 4K video playback.

The Xbox One X released with an AMD 8-core APU at 2.3 GHz, 12 GB RAM, and an AMD GPU based on the AMD Radeon RX architecture. It was marketed as the most powerful console on the market at the time of its release in November 2017, with a retail price of $499.

On the other hand, the Xbox One S released with an AMD 8-core APU at 1.75 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and an AMD GPU based on the AMD Radeon GCN architecture. It was marketed as a more affordable option compared to the Xbox One X, with support for 4K video streaming and HDR gaming. The Xbox One S was released with a price tag of $299.
===Xbox One X/S exclusive features===

:* [[Wikipedia:List_of_Xbox_One_X_enhanced_games|Wikipedia- List of Xbox One X enhanced games]]
The Xbox One X and Xbox One S offer enhancements such as improved graphics, higher resolutions, and better performance compared to the original Xbox One.

*These enhancements are not supported by XBONEmu compatibility layer for emulation.

====Ultra HD Blu-ray drive====
Xbox One X|S console support for Blu-ray Disc Video and [https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/apps-help/dvd-blu-ray-setup DVD-Video]. However it [https://old.reddit.com/r/HDDVD/comments/17hvav1/xbox_one_wont_read_hd_dvd_cheap_mistake/ does not have the capability to play HD-DVD] and VCDs. It has Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, so naturally it supports 4K Ultra HD movies too.

*[[Xbox_Series_X_and_Series_S|Series X|S]] consoles support for Blu-ray Disc Video, DVD-Video and 4K Ultra HD movies.
*See [[Home_Media_Player#Emulators|this dedicated page]] for more information about home media playback support for emulation softwares.

==Emulation issues==
With the Xbox One, Microsoft had two important security goals in mind, to prevent piracy and cheating (these can be seen in the company's Guarding Against Physical Attacks video). To achieve this, much of the hardware was modified to prevent tampering. On the software side, the Xbox One used a new XVD (Xbox Virtual Drive) format to store its operating systems, SystemOS (runs a cut-down version of Windows), HostOS (manages the other two) and GameOS (runs game titles). For the storing of Xbox One titles, the console used another format (XVCs or Xbox Virtual Containers) to store games on Blu-Ray discs. With all this security, it became a challenge to homebrew the console.   For technical Xbox One research, see https://xboxoneresearch.github.io/wiki/

It should also be noted that the vast majority of Xbox One games are also available on PC (similar to [[PlayStation_4_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 4 (Pro)]], [[PlayStation_5_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 5]] and [[Xbox_Series_X_and_Series_S#Emulation issues|Xbox Series X|S]] situations in recent years), so there is increased lack of interest to emulate the console. Having said that, there are still considerable amount of games exclusive to those consoles, this includes games for both PlayStation 4 (Pro) and Xbox One (X|S) that haven't been ported and titles lacking enhanced/next-gen update for PC. See [[List of notable ports#External_links]] section for all of those games.

===Running UWP apps wihout emulation===
Certain exploits were discovered in the Xbox One that allows users to dump a range of system packages such as the Xbox One version of the Microsoft Store. To run these apps, all a user needed to do was to change the application's information file, or AppXManifest from Windows. Xbox to say, Windows.Desktop and certain applications would run but with a lack of input. The same dumping methods probably do not work for important system packages or games, as they are placed in a more secure location and may need compatibility layers to run.
