The studio, responsible for releasing the compilations Breakers Collection AND Top Racer Collection, announced an updated version of the QUByte Emulation Engine with the ability to run games originally released for MS-DOS. This will allow classics from over 30 years old to be revisited by nostalgic fans or introduced to a new generation of console gamers.
Emulation of classics on current consoles
According to Bruno Carvalho, corporate developer at QUByte Interactive, the new version of the engine will enable a new wave of classic games that can be launched under the QUByte Classics label.
“It is a great honor and a great responsibility to be able to revitalize many of these classics that were previously inaccessible on modern platforms,” said Carvalho. In fact, apart from the work done by the GOG (Good Old Games) platform, it is very difficult to find PC games released in the 80s and 90s legally.
The availability of these titles, especially on consoles, opens the door to a multitude of titles. Considering that the company also launches for PC, fans of retro games can see this as a unique opportunity to legally acquire games of the most diverse genres.

Another advantage is that the QUByte emulation engine allows the application of numerous improvements to games, such as visual filters, support for modern controls, the ability to save at any time and support for online multiplayer.
QUByte Interactive has not yet announced the first MS-DOS title that will use the new version of the engine.
