Baldur's Gate 3 Delay Shows The Xbox Series S Still A Headache For Developers

As Baldur's Gate 3 holds its Xbox launch while it optimises for the Series S, the lower-powered console is once again under fire.

I’m not sure Microsoft did this generation of consoles any favours by launching the Series S.

But devs already have the Switch which has weaker specs.

Yes but most devs leave it out since publishers originally let them. Activision recently said ignoring the switch was a mistake so I doubt publishers will be making the same mistake again when we have a new switch

With how little power the switch 2 likely will still have, developers will still ignore it.

Yeah, I imagine it won’t be much stronger than the Steam Deck, and I’m dubious that that will serve 4-player splitscreen 60fps.

There’s a kind of upper limit we’re hitting with tech in regards to what can be delivered conveniently in a handheld format with a reasonable battery life. It might even explain why the Xbox S|X and PS5 are quite a bit bigger than predecessors.
