Happily, PlayStation 5 manages to deliver a creditable rendition of the game, but the now legendary Act Three continues to humble CPU performance - perhaps more than we anticipated going in.

I think this game could run on PS4 just fine. Turn off raytracing and a few other things and it would probably work.

But then, I guess they can’t keep releasing for the old console forever.

There’s no RT in BG3. At least not yet.

If there is money in it… Why not?

We got millions of gamers on old hardware. If they can do it, let all gamers have at it imho

PS5 gamers are more likely to put down $70 for a new game than PS4 players are to put down $60 on a new game. It’s probably just not a worthwhile investment.

Consoles are expensive. Cutting off support to older equipment is rough. Keeping your entertainment “current” is a big ask for a lot of people who are already struggling. As long as people are using the old stuff, devs should do what they can inside the technical limits to extend their lifespan.

Given that the issue with the Xbox S is the split screen, I’d suspect that the PS4 would have the same issue.

It seems pretty CPU limited and the CPU on last gen was dogshit from day one.

I ran it on an i7 4790k initially and definitely felt it. I think you’re right that whatever APU is in the PS4 would scream and run.
