Larian has delayed the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, currently on pace to possibly be 2023’s Game of the Year, until they can figure out how to make split-screen work on Series S.

That will just betray all the customers who bought Series S. Will they upgrade to a Series X to play the next big thing? No, they will probably just buy a PS5 instead. Why should they continue to stay loyal with MS?

It's not capable.

They might have made the bed and be stuck in it, but it was a bad plan that substantially sabatoges the actual next gen console.

It was a stupid promise and even worse requirement for publishing a game on the platform.

They should start considering them just different consoles and remove the parity (and requirement to release on both).

How is it any different than the number of games coming out that betray all the things they promised?

As a series S owner, I never expected this thing to be able to play modern AAA games for 7-10 years like previous gens. It’s delusional. It was $300 with a controller ffs lol
