    It’s sad how split screen is being treated. Which, I understand the technical limitations, rendering the same things twice at the same time IS a bigger and bigger ask as graphics improve. And even though I myself am playing through the game co-op with my GF LAN, not using split screen, it’s slow death is still a bummer.

    But maaaaaaybe that is just me being old and nostalgic lol

      It’s a concession by Xbox at this point. Series S is too underpowered for split screen to work at the level of quality and stability Larian demands. Microsoft caved on the requirement because the alternative is it’d never release on Xbox at all.
