X360-Mobile---OFFICIAL
This repository will contain all future releases of the experimental Xbox 360 emulator
An experimental Xbox 360 emulator for Android phones, built on the open-source Xenia Canary PC emulator. Free to download, about 40% of tested games run at playable speeds on high-end Snapdragon devices.
X360 Mobile is an experimental Xbox 360 emulator for Android phones and tablets. An emulator is software that mimics one device on another, allowing you to run games designed for a specific console on hardware the games were never built for. This project brings Xbox 360 game compatibility to Android, built on top of an existing open-source PC emulator called Xenia Canary.
This GitHub repository does not contain the emulator's source code. The project is closed-source, meaning the developers keep the code private. The repository exists solely as a download hub for APK files, which are the installable packages used on Android, along with a place to report compatibility problems and find setup guides.
Getting started involves downloading the APK from the releases section of the repository, enabling installation from unknown sources in your Android settings, and directing the emulator to wherever you have stored your game files. The emulator supports game files in ISO, XEX, and unpacked folder formats. The developers state that users must own physical copies of any games they run.
Running Xbox 360 games requires substantial phone hardware. The minimum is Android 12 with 6 GB of RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Phones with Mali or Xclipse GPUs are noted to have significant performance problems. For playable speeds on demanding games, the developers recommend a flagship Snapdragon chip with at least 8 GB of RAM.
As of the time of writing, over 300 games have been tested and roughly 40% run at playable speeds. Lighter games and older arcade titles work well. Demanding games like Red Dead Redemption and Halo 3 can boot and reach playable speeds on the newest flagship hardware, though with some graphical issues.
The project is free to download and use, with no fees or advertising.
