Xenia Emulator Screenshots
Xenia Description
Xenia is one of the most persistently developed Xbox 360 emulator projects for Windows and Linux platforms. While PS3 emulators for PC are developing quite well, Xbox 360 emulators are slow to develop. However, projects have not been completely frozen but are still being maintained with slow progress.
Xenia is currently considered the best Xbox emulator for you to play native XBOX games on modern PCs. Although compatibility is still a question mark, more and more games are running smoothly on this emulator.

Overview
Xenia was originally developed by Ben Vanik in early 2013, as a side project in his spare time. This is the first emulator that can run a commercial Xbox 360 game stably. After a long period of freezing, the project was restarted in 2018. Updates continue to be released to improve application performance. Progress continued steadily until developers encountered roadblocks in accurately emulating Xenos, the Xbox 360’s GPU.
This issue has been fixed for 3 years by an active contributor named Triang3l. He completely rewrote the GPU settings and successfully fixed this error. The latest update comes with new Xenia GPU functionality that has more than doubled performance. Triang3l also built a different, faster, and more accurate memory emulator, which should result in fewer broken vertices and textures being seen in the game.
To properly handle GPU capabilities, Xenia now requires a specific feature of Direct3D 12 called Rasterizer-Ordered Views. These functions are limited to newer cards. Xenia has the ability to scale up to 3×3, but such a feature is very resource-intensive and can only be done with high-end GPUs at the moment. If you have a high-end GPU with a powerful PC system, the experience of playing on Xenia is very impressive.
