Microsoft's Xbox and the Challenges Behind Delayed Game Launches
Microsoft Faces Launch Delays for Xbox Games
Developers behind Enotria: The Last Song have voiced grievances regarding Microsoft's communication. Jacky Greco, CEO of Jyamma Games, recently expressed frustration on Discord, stating that while the Xbox Series X/S version is ready, submission concerns halt progress. Though initially responsive, Microsoft's silence has become an issue, hindering game launches.
The Impact on Xbox Series X/S
Enotria isn't alone; a trend is emerging as multiple titles skip Xbox. Baldur's Gate 3 faced absence due to optimization hurdles on the Series S, fueling speculation about platform limitations. Funcom's upcoming survival game Dune also encounters Xbox challenges, citing necessary optimizations.
Developer Frustrations
- Enotria ready for launch but delayed due to submission process issues.
- Jacky Greco claims lack of response from Microsoft.
- Other titles, including Black Myth: Wukong, also abstain from Xbox launch.
As exclusives flow from Xbox to PlayStation 5, the balance in the gaming market shifts, leaving Xbox owners wary of missing out on titles once considered multiplatform. The dialogue between developers and Microsoft remains crucial for remedying these launch delays.
