Before I give you the second bigger, juicier bone about 1.1, let's rewind a little spin and talk about consoles again.
We want to share our thought process much more in depth about consoles and what it's actually like bringing the, you know, the game from PC to the consoles on TV.
Because, I mean, it's not as simple, obviously at this point, as just ripping the game down and plonking it into a disc and shipping it there and calling it a day.
The lead-up to the console release will include talks about this.
It will also include much more, you know, just detailed talks about, say, button mapping, how we thought about moving a very complex game like Satisfactory to a, in the grand scheme of things, very tiny controller.
What challenges we faced playing the game on consoles, what challenges we faced just porting the game, like what mechanics were particularly tricky.
What's the feel of the game like on console?
You know, all this stuff.
We want to talk about all these things on the channel as we approach the console release.
That release, I will have to admit, we have said on record that, both on YouTube and on Twitch, that consoles should release.
very soon in this year, maybe even quarter one soon.
That is looking like it's no longer the case, and that is simply because circumstances do change with game development.
And we do want to say this right now, as soon as possible, just again to be as open as possible about, you know, the fact that we may have goofed, we may have hyped up consoles to be coming a bit earlier than expected.
They should still be landing this year,
But it will not be quarter one, it will not really be anytime super super soon, but it should definitely still be sometime this year.
