I knew that it was just a matter of time until Xbox caved in and adjusted the parity clause.
You can’t defend a critically acclaimed games with 97 Metacritic not coming to your flagship console because of the Series S.

To be honest I actually liked the Series S, nice price point, marketed as an ideal entry for people who want to enjoy next gen games without the need to have 4K 60fps.

What rubs me wrong are the false promises in that regard. I don’t see Xbox doing these two console variants again in the next generation.

I love split screen but really who uses it for a game like Buldars Gate? They should of cancelled it before tbh
Larian have always been big split screen supporters. They're the rare PC dev who puts it in all their games. I'm pretty sure this announcement required a policy change on MS' part, not Larian's.

This is solid news. Decent precedent going forward for Series S parity. MS should make sure they have games coming that actually do support local MP on the S tho, because that's a major draw for casual players.
Casuals do not want the S, the biggest lie in gaming right now is that the Seires S is a desirable console. Only rabid fanboys bought the thing, the Series X is the desired console and outsells the Series S whenever in stock. Even more so now that the world knows Series S is a handicapped console and wont have feature parity with a lot of games. Even the used Series S has disappeared from the Amazon top 100. Word is out that its trash.

Good on Larian. Growing up, me or my friends barely used split screen for PC. Console was our multiplayer platform. Nes to PS2 generation etc.
But that sucks for the fans I guess and Larian. Most the old school fans will be on PC I guess though
