Yeah, from what I understand Microsoft demanded 2 player co op splitscreen on one Xbox, which the ps5 can't do either. The whole splitting the party up would be impossible and I bet they'd have to enforce close close proximity between pc characters to only render one environment at a time if they somehow pull it off going forward, and even then multi-zone on on xbox? which I think is unlikely as my 3 year old top end gaming rig barely gets 60 fps 2k ultrawide.

Anyone have any idea why Microsoft was so adamant about this?

Or is all that just bs and the Xbox can't push it? All the peeps talking about the steam deck pushing it. Yes, but few are mentioning the settings @1280x720 @30 fps all settings on minimum.
