The Xbox port of Lords of the Fallen will not be up to parity with other versions at launch

The developer of the fantasy RPG Lords of the Fallen has issued a statement saying the Xbox version of the game won't be up to parity with the other versions at launch, but a patch is in the works.

The dev statement says an update is coming in the next few days to fix whatever the issue is. The headline and description make it seem like an update is far away.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the content creators who have worked with us to enable the rapid deployment of patches, updates, and performance improvements ahead of tomorrow's exciting launch of Lords of the Fallen.

As such, PC and PlayStation 5 players will be able to enjoy the game as intended. The Xbox version is currently being updated, bringing it to parity with the other platforms, and the patch will release over the coming days."

Where does the headline and description indicate it is far away? It simply says it won't be there at launch and is in the works.

Saying a patch is "in the works" instead of saying it'll launch in a couple days implies very different things. The headline saying the port won't be up to parity "at launch" also implies a longer period of time than a couple days. The first week is literally called the launch week. When I was in journalism school this is the kind of thing they teach you not to do.

Im getting a feeling that the patch delay is related to the Series S. This is just my personal opinion but it’s a reasonable one considering the recent similar issues with Baldur’s Gate 3.

[Deeeeznuuuts]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
If so Microsoft are in a really awkward position, with more Xbox owners owning the Series S too, It's just going to get worse as the generation progresses.

[S2Killinit]

Yeah I was going to say it seems xbox is running into a problem with games having to be optimized for two consoles.

[Barlos]

Hopefully. It's bad for the owners but I'm pleased it causes a headache for Microsoft. Horrible company.

Split screen?

[Hofstaderman]

Another one....its the Series S. Jack can be done, it makes up 75% of the Series sales to date. Keep on trucking Phil and company.

I got the Xbox patch yesterday. It improved the frame rate slightly but it still has frame issues.

Series S

[Lexreborn2]

That blows especially knowing only about 5 million Xbox players might have a decent version but 17 million have a shite option. Hope the patch gets out sooner then later.

Bu..but...but..teh teraflopz! XbOx iS tHe mOsT pOwErFuL!!

[MEGANE]

So more than half of xbox owners been getting and inferior port of what normaly an inferior version of the game Playstation and Pc gets… interesting.

[FatalityX77]

The patch was released for xbox already

[DOMination-]

Xbox Series S is quickly becoming a disaster and because of the promises they've made around it, MS can't do anything about it. Xbox-only gamers are going to continue to get rough treatment for the rest of this generation and it's only going to get worse.

[Father__Merrin]

Only 25% of series owners are actually on the X
