3 of the 4 modern alternatives to Shadow of the Colossus (2005) run on Xbox. The cheapest is Praey for the Gods at € 24,99. 2 are made by independent developers.
Xbox has the strongest backwards-compatibility programme of any console, so a large number of original Xbox and Xbox 360 games run natively on current hardware. Add Game Pass and the steady stream of retro-styled indies and the coverage is broad.
