I’m really curious how it could be a console, like, what will be the difference when it comes to porting/developing? So many games skip Xbox but also come to PC, but more just opt not to come to Xbox because they can technically still be played on an Xbox? It’s an interesting situation.

So does that mean my Casio Loopy will have an Xbox build?

I’m thinking the whole Xbox side of this device will just be for older titles. Everything going forward will just be PC versions. As in, there won’t be an Xbox version of the next Halo game or whatever, it will just be the PC version. You wouldn’t want developers spending time and resources making an Xbox version and a PC version, when this device plays the PC version already.

It would actually be awesome if the HeliXbox would have some sort of console+PC port combined into just one single version. That is, if the game is still effectively optimised for the hardware and all you need to do in the graphics settings is to choose between a handful of options like performance, balanced and quality. But if one is interested in having more control over the look and performance of the game one would be allowed to make numerous other changes in an advanced graphical settings menu. All the things which you can also have in the PC version of a game.
