This page says Red Dead Redemption and GTA IV are both in the sale. But they're not... Both been on my wish list for a while, so I was really pleased to see they'd been discounted. Until I saw they actually weren't
EDIT: I wasn't logged in so couldn't see the Gold discount 🤦♂️😳
It's something I'll use pretty often, but only to see whether a game is worth downloading or not. But it's a really handy way of checking out games without having to wait / clear hard-drive space.
@Casco Yeah, thanks... I am aware of the reasons why emulators cannot be uploaded to official stores...
I think you missed the point of my comment, which was that MS are not 'letting' people install emulators. There's a workaround, yes, but letting people do something and people finding a sneaky way of doing something are not the same thing.
@Halucigens Microsoft don't 'let you use emulators on their systems'. Sure, there's a backdoor way to install Retroarch, but that's hardly the same thing. If they were that open about it, they'd upload official emulators to the store.
@UltimateOtaku91 Actually Sony's attitude towards backwards compatibility is the main reason I won't be getting a PS5 and have bought an Xbox this gen for the first time since the 360.
