Phil Spencer wants to legalize emulation, as he voiced his belief that older games need to be preserved for future generations to experience. Speaking with Axios, the Head of Xbox Phil Spencer said that the gaming industry needs to prioritize the preservation of older video games while backing up that other forms of media have been doing this.

Therefore, he suggested that one way to enact video game preservation would be for industry leaders to offer “legal emulation.” He then continued stating that his hope is as an industry we would work on legal emulation that allowed modern hardware to run any older executable allowing someone to play any game. He then finished saying “I think in the end, if we said, ‘Hey, anybody should be able to buy any game, or own any game and continue to play,’ that seems like a great North Star for us as an industry.”

Throughout the years, emulating has always seem to have been a more efficient alternative to play older video games that are usually difficult to find or too expensive to purchase off of stores such as Ebay, and the possibilities of emulating being legalized is something that time will only tell.
