Is the Xbox Preview feedback going to help you optimise the PC version? Greene: We have no updates on that right now. Īny collector or limited editions planned? Greene: Yeah, it's the same price as PC $29.99. As I said before we want to remain controller v controller or keyboard to mouse v keyboard to mouse. That's why we're using Game Preview because we keep developing it with the players and get their feedback to see how the gameplay feels, how the weapons feel, so we wanted to regular the update as well on Xbox to reflect the changes we feel we need to make. Greene: We want to keep a pretty regular update cadence for Xbox, the same as we did with the Steam Early Access version. Will the updates be as frequent on both platforms?

Development road maps are just slightly varied at the moment. Slightly behind but we're following the same goal here, we want the same thing. It's our goal at the end of the day to keep them aligned and keep the same experience across both platforms.ĭoes that mean the Xbox One version will be slightly behind for the moment? We aim to have the same experience across both platforms, while right now the two builds are on slightly different road maps. It's just the way it goes with open world development. Mainly because we need to test it and fix it, it's still in early development and while we're showcasing it for PC it will still require months of work to really polish it off and find those niggly areas on the map. Greene: While the Xbox Game Preview version will be launching with vaulting included, it won't have the desert map for a while yet. Will there be any major content differences between the PC and Xbox versions? At least for a while?
