Baldur’s Gate 3 being Steam Deck Verified is angering Xbox players, as Larian has not announced a Series X|S port.
The Steam Deck doesn’t have the split screen co-op that Microsoft is insisting the series S have with the game.
In fairness to both Larian and Microsoft, the very feature that seems to be keeping Baldur’s Gate 3 off the Xbox Series X|S is also a problem for Steam Deck. The developers have disabled split-screen co-op on the handheld, and while gamers have found a workaround, it does seem to negatively impact game performance.
Yeah, they’re mad at developers, but they should be mad that Microsoft insists on hamstringing Series X so series S can pretend to be current gen.
If they were equal, they’d cost the same. But they obviously don’t, so it makes no sense Microsoft insists they can handle the same stuff.
Yeah, I despise the Series S for this reason. It’s crippling game innovation, imho.
Huh I wonder if the steam deck has any two+ player games. I’m gonna go ask at the steamdeck community.
