It'll be the cheapest place, by an absurd margin, to play Baldur's Gate 3.

It's one game. By and large developers have managed to get games running pretty well and feature complete ok the S. Some really impressive attempts like the Cyberpunk version. Everyone is thowing the baby out with the bathwater over one game.

It's one game that actually utilizes the power of the series x, and isn't watered down to work on the S.

Think of all the games that were made worse because they HAD to run on lower quality hardware

Modern games sucks. I truly believe this push for graphics has worsened game development and quality.

Every time we get more horsepower they mostly devote it to graphics that look slightly more spectacular. Booooooring

Quite frankly, I don't think that's true.

We've got games coming out at the moment that use Unreal 5 and it's next gen features that are still coming out on the S like Immortals or Remnant 2. They have reduced fidelity on the S as expected but they still run fine there. BG3 is literally held up over one issue, the split-screen, that they're apparently still working on to see if they can patch it back in post launch, MS clearly just let them launch without it to take a win back from Sony.
