Developer Ports Experimental PS5 Emulator to Xbox Series X, Runs Quake II

Compatibility remains very restricted, and Uenal indicated that significant work is still required. He noted that the Xbox environment does not support Vulkan, the rendering interface KytyPS5 relies on, so graphics handling must be reworked to use DirectX. That means advances made on the PC version are unlikely to transfer directly to the console port.

No formal performance benchmarks have been shown. TechPowerUp reported that footage of Quake II shows the game running roughly between 25 and 45 frames per second, with dips below 20 FPS in some scenes, particularly at startup. A noticeable increase in input latency is also visible in the video, though no measured figures have been provided.

A fan project called Underground 2 Revived runs the 2004 racer in Chrome and Firefox, with online multiplayer that several reports say has drawn thousands of simultaneous players.
