Michael Douse, the studio’s publishing director, explained a few weeks ago that there was a “huge technical hurdle” on the Xbox versions, which is to make split-screen work on Xbox Series S, a console less powerful than others.
Far from being exclusive, we don’t have an exclusivity agreement that prevents us from releasing the game on Xbox.This is a technical obstacle.We can’t remove the split-screen feature because we’re forced to run the game in feature parity, so we’re still trying to get it to work.
Several engineers are hard at work achieving what no other role-playing game of this stature has achieved: seamless split-screen co-op on Series S. We hope to have an update by end of the year.
While waiting for news from the developers on the subject, there is a way to play it on console right now.
