Xbox players will now be able to play tons of PlayStation One (PS1) titles on their console, thanks to a cloud-based service. Dubbed the Antstream Arcade, the cross-platform streaming service is now readily available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S and has made two classic PS1 titles playable at launch—Loaded and 40 Winks—with more on their way.
In addition to the aforementioned PS1 games, Antstream Arcade is also making more than a thousand retro titles playable, living up to its commitment to preserving the classics from the ‘80s and ‘90s.
With literally, thousands of titles to dabble into from a bygone era, Antstream Arcade is continuing its commitment to bring “pick up and play” titles to modern platforms by adding new titles every week.

Using the streaming service, the company is making the play experience easier for users by making everything accessible from the get-go, without needing an additional download or installation.
If that level of achievement is not already a feat, the streaming platform makes history by being the first third-party game streaming service on Xbox. With a dependence on cloud technology, Antstream Arcade features amenities that include an online scoreboard, cloud-based save games, and cross-save.
Through said features, players are not only pushed to do their best competitively to mark a name for themselves but are also given the convenience of picking up where they left off regardless of whichever platform that supports the service they use.
Before making its way for the first time on the console, the Antstream Arcade is already supported on platforms like PC, Mac, Android TV, Samsung TV, and Firestick.
