Flying Wild Hog confirmed that the Xbox One June SDK update is significant, but they couldn't use it for Shadow Warrior. Coming from PC, they also commented on the friendlier environment for developer on consoles.
The Shadow Warrior trilogy is currently listed with a 93% discount on Steam, and you can save more than $100 - ideal for your Steam Deck?

Yeah same here. Lots of unsuported indie horror games that end up being fully playble with standard controls and no issues whatsoever.
Thus far, most unsupported games run fine on Steamdeck but I have run on some issues with some lesser known games as well (do not boot at all despite trying various proton versions) but again those were mostly indie horror games.
Playable games almost always play well and have minimal if any issues so I am not sure what Anast is trying to point out here.
I have shadow warrior 2 and am playing it on deck right now. Runs really well and looks good too.
The "playable" label can be something as simple as needing a mouse click on a menu cause controlelrs don't work lol its crazy how many automatically claim a game will run like shit just cause of that label, same with those unverified. take helldivers 2, its unverified on steam because of the mp, not because the game itself doesnt work. just something to keep in mind.
I wasn't really impressed with the second game, hopefully the third one is better.
1 st one is the best. Second one is meh. Couldn't play third one because of, it was crashing on my PC.
The Shadow Warrior reboot debuted on PC 10 years ago today. Thankfully, it's still compatible with modern PC, PlayStation and Xbox formats.
Shadow Warrior debuted in 1997, an unlikely Duke Nukem 3D follow-up that later birthed a respected modern FPS series.
That's a pity how they couldn't use the additional power to raise the resolution, since the game was already complete. Oh well, it will be for the next game I guess!
I think that developers and publishers are more interested in consoles than PC as they are starting to be easier to develop for as mentioned in the article and has a larger number of consumers than PC obviousily.
Well, PC will always be more complicated I think, no matter what they do - too many different configurations.
that is nice addition then, so they will improve it on next release
November brings another sdk from MS as well. Should bridge the gap from 900 to 1080 even more. Hopefully.
