Since an Xbox Series port already exists but there was no Xbox One's... it was only a matter of time. Be aware that you need Developer mode to run this. AI has been used to speed up.
Like any other Quake 3 client, It can crossplay with others (either PC or other console ports).
It uses the standard controller bindings for shooters, except you use the arrow down to open the on screen keyboard to type in chat.
AI has been used to assist me in this project due to lack of time. I won't share my CLAUDE.MD, but you can find the details of which AI models I used, and their respective role. I hope this will help and encourage more developers or people trying to approach this field in a much less intimidating way. Be aware that the approach was the same for basically every Quake 3 port I made.
Main features:
Installation
You need to install Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx as Dependency.
Boot them once, then:
Quake III Arena
Place pak0-8 in User Folders\LocalAppData\ioq3-uwp_1.0.0.0_x64__t8sjjnx0kvmt8\LocalState\baseq3 from your own Quake III Arena copy.
Open Arena
Place all the pak files in User Folders\LocalAppData\openarena-uwp_t8sjjnx0kvmt8\LocalState\baseoa from your own Open Arena copy.
Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force
Place all the pak files in User Folders\LocalAppData\eliteforce-uwp_t8sjjnx0kvmt8\LocalState\baseEF from your own Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force copy.
I didn't test it on Xbox Series (although I do have an Xbox Series X at my place), but you'd rather want to use Its dedicated port

Hardened code's skill module is mandatory. Without it, AI will hallucinate a lot and will either introduce issues or regressions.
Sonnet 4.6 did good chunk of the work code-wise. It would often struggle with more advanced things (ex. renderer). If it struggled or introduced regressions when implementing something, I would instantly swap to Opus to continue
Opus 4.6 does the much more complex stuff, then code review and comment trimming.
Codex although not mandatory does the double check on code.
The PS4 port was basically used as a base for this, since they share the same renderer.
