The official title was such marketing speak that I hope no one blames me for changing it. Seemingly this only means the Xbox app on PC and not stores like Steam.

After the head of the BC program got sacked in the last round of layoffs, I lost all hope about it going anywhere in the near future. I’m happy I was proven wrong.
What’s not clear in the linked article is how to access the BC games: do I need to buy them from the store, or is a disc allowed like on Xbox console?
A lot of BC games have been delisted over the years, so being able to access them via disc would be great. It’s not an immediate concern as they only made four games available on PC, but I’m thinking ahead.
I seem to remember needing a special drive to read the x-box discs. But i might be wrong.
Most early disc consoles had nonstandard discs in some way. Even if they are readable with a standard drive I doubt MS will support it. (They’ve surprised me with this announcement though, so who knows)
