Larian hadpreviously said on several occasionsthat it believed Microsoft required full feature parity the between the Series X and Series S versions of the game.
However, Xbox boss Spencer later suggested that feature parity wasn’t actually a requirement, and that he“doesn’t see a world” where ther Series S has to miss outon certain games.
