It really looks like Microsoft made the worst call with their Series S compatibility mandate. Now games come out so late that as an Xbox owner, you’re automatically a Patient Gamer, without the upsides. That is, if a port is released at all.
These days you can play games like Death Stranding more than half a year earlier on your iPhone.
This has nothing to do with the Series S. Helldivers is a fully Sony owned IP. I suspect Xbox asked for this as a show of good grace in exchange for Halo.
I don’t think that’s true, the game ran very well on Series X on release. I know because I sunk like 90 hours on it in the first week. It ran like shit in all last Gen hardware including PC, because people with the then new 30 series Nvidia graphics cards were also reporting the game ran fine. I think CDPR just did not optimize it at all.
Yeah you said it. Sony did not make them release the game for the PS4 and yet they did and it had lots of issues. Hence they did not optimize well for previous gen
Ps4 and series s are basically the same hardware like ps5/seriesX, m$ mandated that it be on all consoles so I don’t blame CDPR for just say screw it and show this is why at some point you shouldn’t support old hardware.
Sure it kinda ruined CDPRs immage short term, but MS did drop that mandate shortly after.
Just curious, but does this coming to Xbox Series X/S means people can play it on ALL the Xboxes? Like the Rog Ally, The Meta Quest etc. As much as that branding is confusing, if this is true, then that’s pretty cool.
The ROG Xbox Ally is just a an Xbox branded PC. It can already play Helldivers 2. The Meta Quest is just a Meta Quest with a different color so no, unless it’s also playable via Xcloud (game streaming).
Re: Meta Quest, doesn’t play Xbox or Pc games natively at all. It has an Xbox app that allows you to stream from your Xbox or play through Xcloud. All Meta Headsets can do this.
That is to say that none of these Xbox branded hardware can play games that you own on your Xbox unless they are Play Anywhere titles.
My understanding was that the xbox rog will actually play native Xbox installs. At least that’s what I think the new “Xbox os” is capable of that will be on it, and eventually other devices.

I have a friend who is Xbox only and so far the only crossplay game he has in common with our friend group is Call of Duty.
This is the greatest news this year so far.

The series S is why the launch of cyberpunk was fucked. It was out dated then and is even worse meow

Series S not X. There was a reason why M$ and Sony both refunded a ton of customers.
Mandating that they had to have the game run on obsolete hardware was the entire issue, not optimization

I’m pretty sure that, in this specific case, the delay was mandated by the game’s publisher, Sony. I doubt the Series S has anything to do with it.

Oh.
Well, thanks for the info!

Nope. Not at all. It’s literally just an ROG Ally with an Xbox skin.
Oh, you’re right, I think I confused the Play Anywhere as a native install. The “xbox os” is just a streamlined windows os
Two years later but who cares?! I’m ready!
