Xenia is an Xbox 360 emulator. Even if it's not a finished product that's accessible to everyone, it's the groundwork for something that could become a very interesting project. In a few words: you can use it to emulate games, but it's a pretty complex process.

For starters, you need to be running Windows 8.1 or higher since the tool isn't compatible with Windows 7 (or older operating systems). In addition to this restriction, keep in mind that you must have Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and Python 2.7 installed for the emulator to work.

So that we're all on the same page, Xenia is an emulator that's constantly being developed. Although some games can be emulated correctly (the website lists the ones that are compatible), the majority of the games don't work.

Xenia Emulator is an interesting project because of the simple fact that it's the first Xbox 360 emulator that could become fully functional one day. But, you have to have a computer that's powerful enough to run a video game.
