I don't have an Xbox but found this and a few other articles about Xbox/BG3 release interesting.
Larian wants to make the game the best it can for each platform/machine.
The split performance for "next gen" is a pretty major compromise to the ecosystem. The benefit of consoles is the single target you can optimize hard for. Different GPU can be tuned, but different CPU is an issue for demanding loads.
Larian is saying the the split screen will be in there for the Xbox-S. They said they are working with Microsoft to get it up to speed.
So you are saying the S has a different cpu, so split screen will not happen?
Larian specifically said they’re working on optimizing for Xbox right now, so it seems like they’re pretty confident in making it happen. They seem like they’ve been pretty on the ball for promised features, so I’m pretty confident it will come out.
