@Sol4ris Their latest tweet from them claims they are still working with microsoft to try to add local coop on the Series S, dispite they are going to launch the game without it.
I think Microsoft just opened an exception given the big success the game was making.
@themightyant Fully aggree, whatever it's series S fault or larian lack of skill, features like this shouldn't be mandatory for releasing the game. They could either drop it entirely on Xbox until they find a way or simply microsoft should allow them to release the game on series X with split screen and Series S without it. It's much bigger deal for me to not have a performance mode on Series S than features like this, and yet lack of performance mode is (understandably) not a parity requirement features.
Anyway, for big fans of larian this is a big loss of xbox, whatever larian decided to give more resources to the Playstation port or whatever people think the issue is, the reality is, it is what it is.
@Fiendish-Beaver That point might come, but it's not baldurs gate 3, I have benchmarked this game in far weak hardware and it did run just fine, ofc at 30 fps, but fine! Steam Deck is also running around 30 fps, which is fine for a Turned based game. If steam deck manages it, Series S would do it with ease, it seems to me that the dev team is having issues with something related with the system, but the performance makes no sense given how much weaker and lower end hardware manages to run the game.
