Larian revealed it was struggling to get the game to run well in co-op on Xbox Series S specifically. Microsoft gave it permission tolaunch the game without co-op supporton Xbox Series S, although Larian has stated that it has found ways todecrease the RAM and VRAM loadsfor the game on that digital-only Xbox console.
