Online multiplayer is a gaming staple, but not every big title lets people play together at home. Games like 'Baldur's Gate 3' and 'Diablo 4' are reinvigorating the genre.
That’s pretty interesting considering that problems getting co-op working “properly” on Series S is the reason we’ve been given this far for a lack of XBOX release.
I know it’s been described as a performance and optimization issue since Microsoft demands feature parity between Series X and S but to hear that the mode preventing an XBOX release doesn’t even actually work properly on PS5 is… amusing… And disappointing but mostly amusing.
Series S performance with it like this would have been something to behold.
I’m not sure why “performance mode” is disabled in co-op either. In single player it runs at a decent pace. It’s just as soon as player two joins that it starts to feel like a PS3 game.
I mean, it’s still fun, the underlying game is clearly good, and occasionally the hitching stops for a few minutes and it’s less frustrating, but it soon comes back again. It’s like it’s doing something daft like reloading the zone between characters.
