    This has nothing to do with the Series S. Helldivers is a fully Sony owned IP. I suspect Xbox asked for this as a show of good grace in exchange for Halo.

        I don’t think that’s true, the game ran very well on Series X on release. I know because I sunk like 90 hours on it in the first week. It ran like shit in all last Gen hardware including PC, because people with the then new 30 series Nvidia graphics cards were also reporting the game ran fine. I think CDPR just did not optimize it at all.

          Series S not X. There was a reason why M$ and Sony both refunded a ton of customers.

          Mandating that they had to have the game run on obsolete hardware was the entire issue, not optimization

            Yeah you said it. Sony did not make them release the game for the PS4 and yet they did and it had lots of issues. Hence they did not optimize well for previous gen

              Ps4 and series s are basically the same hardware like ps5/seriesX, m$ mandated that it be on all consoles so I don’t blame CDPR for just say screw it and show this is why at some point you shouldn’t support old hardware.

              Sure it kinda ruined CDPRs immage short term, but MS did drop that mandate shortly after.
