This was their base statement which was recently reitterated. Psyonix is a very small studio with a shit ton to do. Changing their mind on a whim is not an option. They're not Microsoft. Releasing on Xbox is not just a technical or financial issue. The big one is political and the possible fracturing of the playerbase. Worst case Scenario is that Xbox players will only be able to play with X1 owners or with players on Steam. That's not increasing the playerbase, that's just burdening yourself with just another institution. They already have trouble to connect Steam to PSN to allow cross platform parties. If they actually do have an announcement this year to port on X1 I will accuse them of misappropriating their time and funds. |
There will be more than 10M X1 in US coming 2016 I don't think they would pass on that kind of opportunity just because of some grudge they had a few years ago... MS is now more than willing to work with indy devs for all kinds of deals, that includes cross play and no need to accuse them of anything because they can do whatever they want... like I said, business is business.
