From the Xbox press release (https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/02/19/muse-ai-xbox-empowering-creators-and-players/ https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/02/19/muse-ai-xbox-empoweri...):
> Today, countless classic games tied to aging hardware are no longer playable by most people. Thanks to this breakthrough, we are exploring the potential for Muse to take older back catalog games from our studios and optimize them for any device. We believe this could radically change how we preserve and experience classic games in the future and make them accessible to more players.
> To imagine that beloved games lost to time and hardware advancement could one day be played on any screen with Xbox is an exciting possibility for us.
To me this shows that they're just bullshitting to pump the stock price. There's no way that using generative AI to port nontrivial games based on gameplay videos and recorded inputs would produce anything more than maybe a tech demo at best. You wouldn't get anywhere near the accuracy of emulation or a direct source port, but saying "we're hiring emulation experts to improve our backwards compatibility" doesn't juice the stock like "we're using generative AI to preserve games" does.
