May be a silly question and I don't know where to post it, but are the XBox One players still playing on the same servers as everyone else?
And if yes, wouldn't it be better to cut the chain of that anchor to greatly improve the experience for everybody (like stability, bigger world, better graphics*)?
(*definitely not playing down the visuals, as they are wonderful, but imagine even better lighting and water)
Maybe they will, one day, once the market share of Xbox Series becomes large enough that it becomes commercially viable to do so.
(as a reminder, Xbox Ones = 58M units sold, Series s/X = roughly 20M, and since Xbox still represents more than 50 % of the playerbase, they won't risk cutting off millions of players that haven't upgraded yet)
Forcing players to upgrade their system because they want to run a newer version of their game is not good business practice. As much as it may improve the game, it’s genuinely unfair to those who are on the Xbox one. Now if ofc those players complain that SoT doesn’t run as well on that machine anymore, then they have to keep in mind they’re playing on a decade old console, so there are limits. Frankly I think it’s impressive that a game like SoT still functions on the OG Xbox One.
