Knowing that we wanted to give our thanks to the Xbox community that has shown us love from day 1, we really thought about the kinds of things we would want to see as fans of Cuphead. The goal was to make this update feel like a real peek behind the scenes at what went into bringing the game to life, across all parts of development."

Moldenhauer continued: "With our process being so painstaking once we put pencil to paper, we often use paint tools during brainstorming sessions to communicate ideas very quickly to one another for the broad strokes of a boss attack or phase transition.

"A few of these made their way into the photo gallery, and we think they're a fun break from tradition for the more handcrafted art we usually put out."

TBF it isn't coming out on Switch either and we know PS, Switch & PC carried Cuphead to any sort of major relevance.

A really dumb update to gatekeep to a single platform, especially the least popular for the game.

The morons who took 7 years to make that game have a big green dick up their asses.

Boneheaded move and dumbass reasoning. Xbots were the only ones who *could* show support from day 1 because Microsoft anticompetitively paid money to make the game exclusive i.e. keep it off Playstation. I'd be very surprised if the Xbox sku was the highest selling after all this time.

To be fair, they apparently presented to Sony when all they had was a boss rush and they decided to shop around to other platforms when Sony said that wasn’t enough. Microsoft was so desperate that they cut them a cheque to actually make a game, not just one short mode, and it took them a ridiculous amount of time to finish it, on the condition it be exclusive.

Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if MS had forced a clause on them that it wasn’t ever allowed on Plus as part of the deal.

The game is complete finally so this is a negligible update.

I’m stoked to see what that team does next. They just hired some people.

So apparently cuphead (I've not actually played it) got an anniversary update that's exclusive to Xbox the update isn't anything major but can you guys imagine the meltdowns if it got an update for playstation / switch & not Xbox 🤣
