It all came down to Microsoft locking down the applications from running with the following message showing up when attempting to boot them: 'This game or app can't be launched as it violates the Microsoft Store Policy.' Some reports from after the 1st down mention that this method is back again, which means that a possible game of cat and mouse between Devs and Microsoft will be on the frontline again.īack in April, several users started reporting that their emulator applications in UWP format were getting blocked from running under the Xbox Series' retail mode.
It took Microsoft just a meager few hours to counter this new method, though it remains to be seen if this will continue in any case. UPDATE: It seems like this new method has been removed and blocked yet again, similar to last time.
