In this video, I will show you how to set up OpenMW (Open Morrowind) on Xbox Series X|S so you can play The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind with a modern engine and controller-friendly menus. OpenMW also features full mod support that I will show you how to use as well. The modding process sucks and can hurt performance, so do be aware of that.
⚠️ You must own a legal copy of Morrowind (disc, Steam, or GOG). This video does not provide game files.
OpenMW is an unofficial open-source engine. Not affiliated with Bethesda or Microsoft.
