TL;DR
- A new emulator called XenDroid delivers surprisingly solid Xbox 360 emulation on Android.
- We were able to play games like Call of Duty 2, Forza Motorsport 2, and Project Gotham Racing 3.
- You’ll need a device running Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 silicon or higher for best results.
We’ve already seen the first Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 emulators running on Android, but we’ve seen a couple of huge developments in the last few months. However, a new Xbox 360 emulator is making waves in recent weeks.
XenDroid was first released on GitHub a few weeks ago (h/t: EmulationOnAndroid and Modern Vintage Gamer), and it looks like a major step forward for Xbox 360 emulation on Android. According to the XenDroid GitHub page, it was initially conceived as a fork of the pioneering aX360e emulator. The developer later decided to rebase the app on the Xenia Edge PC emulator project.
