50 PS1 Games Could Soon Be Playable On Xbox, Teases Antstream Arcade Dev

The excellent cloud-based retro games service Antstream Arcade recently launched on PlayStation following its Xbox debut a year ago, and it sounds like we could be getting some more PS1 games on there as a result.

Speaking to Game Rant recently (thanks Time Extension for spotting it!), studio head Mike Rouse revealed that the company has licensed around 50 PS1 games in all, and until now they've just been trying to balance out the new additions across various systems. But, if there's more interest in "PlayStation Stuff", they'll look at doing more.

"We actually have a ton of PlayStation games already licensed. So what we do look at is what games release in what week, and we try to balance it across the different types of platforms we have, the different genres we have, and the needs that people have. So if the community is calling out for more PlayStation, we'll look at doing more PlayStation stuff. We've probably got another 50 already licensed PlayStation games, and there's more being licensed all the time."

It's not like we haven't seen any in the past though - earlier this year, we highlighted that eight PS1 games were now playable on Xbox via Antstream Arcade, including the likes of Glover, Hogs of War and the original Worms.

Also, what's perhaps even more exciting is that Rouse reportedly expressed interest in adding games from more recent consoles, which suggests that we could be looking at games from the original Xbox (as well as PS2 and Nintendo GameCube) making their way to Antstream eventually. We don't know about you, but we'd love to see that!
