Indie studio Jyamma Games is forever postponing the Xbox Series X|S port of Enotria: The Last Song, and laid the blame directly on Microsoft’s shoulders.
Per IGN, creator Jacky Greco apparently stated on Discord that Xbox “clearly do not care about Enotria and they do not care about [players]”
The main statement associated the hold-up to “obstacles” not discovered in the PlayStation 5 or PC variations beginning September 19. Greco was more honest on Discord, and declared Jyamma invested 2 months getting in touch with Xbox to no reaction.
In mid-August, Haak designer Blingstone declared Xbox’s porting procedure was a “headache” to go through. Greco’s remarks echo that belief, as he likewise stated Jyamma was not able to open a shop page and send the video game.
“We’ve [got] Xbox Series X and S variations all set however we can’t continue with submission and release,” he composed. “I invested a great deal of cash for porting and they chose to disregard us.”
Xbox’s struggling port legend
Studios have actually formerly voiced their annoyance with Microsoft’s porting procedure. In numerous cases, like with Baldur’s Gate 3, advancement problems came from the Xbox Series S.
Previously today, Funcom’s primary item officer Scott Junior informed VG247 it would be a “difficulty” to bring its MMO Dune: Awakening to the Xbox Series systems. He stated there were “a great deal of optimizations we require to do,” and highlighted the Series S particularly.
Earlier today, Capcom stated it was bringing its collection of combating video games to Xbox, albeit in 2025. Before that point, the designer made no reference of either concerning the console, and the port is just taking place after “technical conversations.”
In 2015, Xbox head Phil Spencer protected the Series S’ presence, arguing it was required for gamers not able to purchase a Series X or PlayStation 5. At the time, he stated he “does not see a world” where the Series S is deserted.
