    So did BG3 at the start and we all know how that went. Microsoft had to reneg on multiple policies just so they could have the game on their consoles.

      I believe only the local Co-op was removed though? And the optimizations made for XSS were beneficial to all other platforms as well as they stated, and the game runs now much better on PC and PS5

        The optimizations would have been done eventually anyways and Xbox had policies that they had to bend just to have the game on their systems.

        People can say the game is coming, but that doesn’t mean it’s happening, it’s already been an issue and will be a continuing issue going forward. The console just isn’t that powerful.

        If the game does release, it won’t be the same game as the X, not a chance.

          I doubt they would do the optimizations at the same degree, because they wouldn’t need to. It was working fine on the PS5 already, it was already a success on PC. Why bother much?

            They have done plenty of other optimizations already. So why would you think that? Of your logic was remotely true not any optimizations would have been done since it’s a waste.

            Clearly they aren’t that type of company (every company does continuing optimizations FFS LMFAO), so don’t make shit up to try and make a point.
