The Steam Deck doesn't have the split screen co-op that Microsoft is insisting the series S have with the game.
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.
No one in the linked article is mad at developers? They are mad at Microsoft, that is what the article is about.
Yeah, I despise the Series S for this reason. It's crippling game innovation, imho.
Do we know if the Series S sold a lot more than the series X?
Nope, they're very hush hush on that. It was only two months ago that they first gave official sales numbers at all, and it was the combined total.
They also revealed the official sales numbers for the Xbox One for the first time since 2015, and holy shit did the disaster of a launch ever fuck it over. Roughly 1/3 the sales of the PS4.
This makes sense.
FPS take a big dip on my machine whenever we add the second player. In some cases the frame rate is a bit shit but we still keep playing because the game is that good.
Hopefully it will get some improvements soon though.
Huh I wonder if the steam deck has any two+ player games. I'm gonna go ask at the steamdeck community.
I mean, its just a handheld pc. Think of any pc game with splitscreen and boom theres one (as long as it works in proton). You can connect bluetooth controllers and dock it to a tv too, so your're not akwardly playing on one handheld screen.
