Yes, that is a bit disappointing. I guess they didn’t want to risk lowering the fidelity to suit the older generation of consoles. Mind you, my old Xbox One would probably self-combust if I tried to run Flight Sim on it.
I just dont think the base XBOX would ever be able to run it in a way that would be acceptable to either players or MS. It might be scalable, yes, but to what end? Game would be unrecognisable.
After the news of New World release date being moved I started looking around for something to play. Considered buying The Ascent on Steam then saw it on xbox game pass. R99 later and I am downloading it. I love game pass.
Was busy starting to do a post about this game last night when I saw this info too. Immediately put in for a Steam refund for it - I’d bought it on pre-order during a steam sale a while ago. So now I’ve got coin in the Steam wallet for the next sale again
