A reminder, Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One First released on PS5, Xbox Series and PC, and putting aside older consoles to simplify the studio’s task, the work of optimizing games on PS4 and Xbox One proved more important than expected. “We tried to extract as much content as possible from old consoles. A lot of unseen work has been done, but there are also clearly visible changes, like changes made to the city map on the PS4 and Xbox One versions, so the game runs more smoothly (we cut out some alleys, shortcuts, etc.) . As we get closer to finalizing these versions, war comes.“, explains a Frogwares press release.
“To say the war has affected us might be an understatement of the decade. Not to mention our personal and spiritual condition, the war has had a huge impact on us from a production standpoint. Today, with the resources and people we have, we can release Chapter 1 for PS4 on April 28th.On the other hand, we have to postpone the Xbox One version indefinitely”, added Frogwares that he obviously regrets having to do this given the loss of time and money. Xbox knows this situation anyway, and Xbox One players who pre-ordered the game can cancel their orders and get a full refund.
