A new rumor is making the rounds, suggesting that Microsoft may be planning to bring original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles to the ROG Xbox Ally and Windows PCs. The move would significantly expand the reach of Microsoft’s backward compatibility efforts, which until now have mostly been limited to its console platforms.

According to insider reports, Microsoft is exploring ways to make these classic titles accessible on handheld and PC devices running Windows. This would allow gamers to relive older fan-favorite titles without needing an Xbox console — a huge win for those who’ve embraced the handheld gaming scene or prefer PC gaming.

The ROG Xbox Ally, which launched earlier this year, is a collaboration between ASUS and Microsoft that blends portable PC hardware with Xbox integration. Bringing classic Xbox titles to this device would not only bolster its game library but also position it as a more versatile gaming machine for retro and modern titles alike.

While nothing is officially confirmed yet, the idea aligns with Microsoft’s ongoing push to unify its gaming ecosystem across platforms. If true, this could mark a major step forward in game preservation and accessibility for the Xbox legacy catalog.
