Phantom liberty will not be on consoles?

Jeeeeeez. I mean I got the game on sale for 20$, Phew dodged a bullet there, but are we sure we can't make dlc for all platforms that actually have the game on them? After how the initial release went? Jeeeeeez.

Not in last gen consoles, but in current gen, yes.

why do you think it won't be

^ give it a quick google. No reason it can't be though, based on the features. I bet this'll be a mess like release. Ugh. Every step of the way there's a problem.

The recent 1.6 update was the very last update for PS4 and XB1. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will continue to receive updates.

This game never should have been on last gen consoles in the first place.

It will be on PC, Playstation 5 and XBox Series X.

They dropped last gen support because it was holding them back and by trying to accommodate to old hardware would mean sacrifices being made for current hardware and downgrading the content, features and visuals. This way they can fully utilize and build around current gen hardware.

In my opinion, they did the right choice. Should have never bothered with old hardware to begin with.

They are also giving free upgrade copies for toaster5 and xbox40 to people that have the older versions.

Good thing PC's aren't affected by any Outdated Toasters cause one can build or buy a better Gaming PC & the game will work on the new PC ( Unless some one doesn't know how to build a Perfect Gaming PC )

What is holding cdpr back more so compared to release? On that accord at the end of the ps5s span I hope they aren't releasing any games then. Aside from that we just need someone who knows their way around a PS4 installing and running an expansion to show it would work. I bet if anything it's just a smaller island with a body mod shop and a cafe quest or two. (But at an expensive full game price.)

maybe the DLC is going to have a map expansion the consoles can't handle? maybe they plan on a graphical overhaul with the DLC? storage space? maybe just behind the scenes problems with Sony or Microsoft involving the DLC, could be numerous reasons.

Truuuuuue. Eh I'll wait for a PC sale to get the game again, and the expansion for it when it goes on sale.

The correct question isn't whether it will work or not, because yes of course it will work. The proper question would be whether it would work at acceptable performance... and we all know how PS4/XBox One versions perform with this game.

It would take an insane amount of content downgrades, cut out assets and features, optimizations and quality control to make sure it runs even remotely at acceptable performance.

It is simply not worth wasting so much time and resources making sure obsolete hardware can run it... when they can just drop it and instead bring out the full richness of their vision to life by focusing on current gen only.
