All this extra work, money and effort for nothing. Xbox gamers do not play these type of games, go look at pillars and pathfinder completion %.

If they could make Starfield run on Series S, I thought that Baldur Gate wouldn't be an issue, I'm not a programmer and no tech savvy but these are two massive games in scope but I think that starfield looks more demanding...

Lol and people said PS5 was gonna hold this gen back that it was 8.4 TF but gave the XSS a pass i stil lremeber everything the xbox fans were saying about GIGA Ray tracing LOL. The fact Sony has More 1st party Ray traced games then xbox says enough

So are we talking the SeriesS release or SeriesX as well? Since the tweet only mentions SeriesS… 🤔

he was being kind when he said 2024, if they cant get a simple little halo game to have split screen what chance has baldur's gate 3 have

Thank you Series S, the benefits of dual platforms just keep coming /s

Coming up next: "Microsoft to buy Larian for $100B."

A solution to the S' lack of power compared to the PS5 and SX would be to stop the parity clause and allow streaming for games that are too demanding for the S. They did it with the Xbox One, do it with the SS as well and anything that can run locally, do it, and the games that are to demanding, print on the box, or description "Streaming Only on the SS"

Games like this need to be played on PC anyway.

MS should do the SX buyers right by canceling the S version. This is by far a GOTY type game and to wait that long to play the only good game, 3rd party or not, to be released on MS consoles this decade is a bit harsh.

XBSS was a horrible idea pushed by fanboys who thought they were smart. Listen to them, they just have to adjust the sliders. The PC is the lowest platform over and over not taking into account game design at higher spec. Some things are simply not move the sliders down.

Good. I hope the more of the industry MS buys up, the more the rest of the industry shuns them. They’re in a distant third place and are trying to win their place in a creative focussed market in the most despicable ways possible. Talentless acquisitions should not be responded to with loyalty.

thats ok by then we will have the have sex with badgers and budgies DLC pack

They should just lower the resolution or whatever graphical setting that is slowing down the series s and fix it after release.

oooff
id imagine its cause of the series s, i cant think of anything else really.

Maybe that breaks Xbox. If Microsoft spent a ton of money to develop Starfield and you essentially rent the game for $15 for one month, you don't have to pay the full $70 a d Xbox has to eat that loss. So, like Streaming services, if you get a one month pass just long enough to binge play Starfield for a month for $14, I think most people will do that and then call it quits. It's like going to the casino. You only take in $10 and you say, this is all they're going to get out of me. If I win more, I win more, but they're not going to get any more than $10 from me, the casino wants you to spend more or they depend on those that have gambling problems.

If Starfield doesn't work, they can't keep investing that much money at a loss which forces them to have to cut costs to only making cheaper games like Arena Shooters (games a service) and indie graphics type games (that look like SEGA Saturn). There's old retired people that say they want to try Starfield, but that's casual gamers that'll play for a couple of hours or a one or twice a week until they're tired of it and never touched it again and cancel their subscription. Like what Twisted Metal is getting Peacock. Nobody likes Peacock but they're getting it at the cheapest price just to try it and then never touch it again. I did that with The Last of Us, HBO Max didn't make anything off me. Or wait until Xbox offers $1 trial again and play 1 month for $1, Xbox can't eat losses like that. Subscription services might not pay off for them in the end. Again, People are cheap by nature, they look for the cheapest way to get around and Xbox just spent $70 billion for Activision and if Call of Duty doesn't pay off in the long run, which the newest Call of Duty so many people are so sick of, Xbox could have just wasted a huge chunk of Microsoft's money, especially is Sony owns Halo dev, if they want a Halo clone they have but to ask Bungie, who doesn't even have to develop it, just guide a small team giving them the formula for how it's done while 343 Industries is bleeding out, one of their big devs going back to Bungie.

This game is a big deal. Xbox not getting this Day 1 is gonna hurt, especially since Balders Gate has always been synonyms with PC. Xbox will get it eventually, but it shows other companies complications working with Xbox in a way we don't see
