XBOX LABS Shows Xbox 360 Blade Interface Running in a Browser
XBOX LABS is a Microsoft team built around game reconstruction, and its first visible result is Microsoft's own console interface running in a browser, which puts the company on the same turf as the unauthorized ports it is studying.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma and CTO Scott Van Vliet said on October 21 that XBOX LABS, the small team formed on October 14, has run Xbox 360 interfaces including the Blade dashboard in a web browser. The video shows Blade panels moving left and right rather than sitting as a static background. Whether games can be played from the browser is not stated.
The video is the first thing XBOX LABS has shown since its formation was announced on October 14. The team is described as game creators, engineers and scientists, led by CTO Scott Van Vliet, and it is tied to the recent trend of game reconstruction, in which games are ported or modded without authorization. In the clip, the Xbox 360 Blade panels slide left and right instead of sitting still the way the Blade background theme released for Xbox Series X|S does. No games are shown running, and nothing is said about what the browser build would do next.
