Why no BG3 on Xbox?!

This is directed at Xbox players but I'm sure we'll still hear from the PC players aka the peanut gallery 😆

Now for my rant!
The reason the Xbox version is delayed indefinitely is that if he has to work on both Xbox/S 😡


On a personal note, the S is an insult to everything gaming. I would buy one simply to smash it too pieces and record a video of me doing it 😜

During the XSX launch, I wanted the XSX but kept getting offered the S 😡 if I knew that Xbox/S was going to limit and hold back games.

I would have gotten a PS5
even though it's an ugly
looking, console 😂 I don't know what they were smoking when they came up with that "design" 🤣

As far as I can tell as a one who no longer has developer access (360 was free, One and later are not) based only on public documentation from Microsoft's learning site for Xbox Series GDK, it looks like one Xbox Series application package is required to work on both X and S despite the two being different enough to be considered two separate platforms in many situations.

Everyone else has one package per platform each, just Microsoft is the oddball when it comes to predictable environments as one would expect in a console.

One possible solution is to provide all kinds of settings for graphics options like PC and Mac, but that's not why people get consoles. All that is supposed to be handled already. I don't know if Microsoft's certifications have specific graphic settings requirements for published packages. (Graphics-specific info is locked behind NDA permissions.)

This seems to sit squarely on Microsoft's shoulders.

Larian said they ARE working on an Xbox version. They also said that they were having technical issues with the split-screen co-op on it to the point they didn't think they could get the game out the same day as the PC and the PS5 version so they just didn't announce a release date.

They also said it was an X/S issue regarding split screen.

That is correct.
