Baldur's Gate 3 is coming to Xbox this year without split-screen coop on the Series S
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
The fact that Xbox sent their own engineers over to Larian to try to get split screen on Series S and couldn't should tell us all we need to know bout this console and the outcome that could ensure in the future for other developers making their games on this thing.
Wow and the S is the higher selling SKU of the two. I expect a single digit share of sales for MS.
Sometimes you hate IGN... sometimes you love them... they pressed it where more hurts.
Interesting decision and precedent.
Mind you the nature of Split Screen co-op is not something that will be present in every other game out there, and is rather a low percentage. So the S will be sort of fine unless there is some massive standard jump engine wise for the industry which is not happening anytime soon, and Sony's big guns, usually at the Vanguard of this shift, are gonna be releasing titles by the end of the gen, beginning of next gen.

Mind that Larian developed BG3 for years with Split-Screen in mind and looks like people are using that mode overall
, so it's not that big of a mistake.
They're using semantics now 'oh no it's not a mode it's a feature' they really don't want to admit Microsoft / Phil Spencer lied
Lol, man this Gen will be F’ed up for Xbox going forward. Devs will come out of the woodwork expecting to cut corners to save on dev costs and time.
What a blunder.
What a blunder.
It's more amusing this way. Next stage, PS5 pro in for the kill
