No The product is a PC port of an Xbox game produced by recompiling the original console binary. That requires reverse engineering of proprietary console code and assets, which is specialized work and legally fraught.
What it would actually take: A real version would need a static and dynamic recompilation toolchain that translates Xbox (x86) machine code into a native PC binary, plus a graphics layer reimplementing the original GPU calls (for example, via Direct3D or Vulkan). Building this takes experienced reverse engineers and graphics programmers with deep knowledge of the original hardware, and the game itself must be legally sourced.
