With the Switch 2 probably releasing next year, the handheld market is already pretty crowded as it is. What would differentiate Microsoft's offering from the rest? They didn't bother even when the market was just DS/PSP.
Might be nice if they’d even comment on the Mac version which they supported from day one, but then went silent (beyond saying it was delayed) when it was time for release.
I was similarly disappointed but IIRC it was delayed to September 6th.
I wonder how will it run in Act 3 since DX11 is so much more performant than Vulkan and I assume they use either MoltenVK or straight Metal. It’s likely the reason for the delay.
9/6 is the PS5 date. Still no word from Larian on the Mac date - the last I heard was when they originally announced it would be delayed, and that they didn’t want to give a date and not meet it. What worries me is that they are willing to give these other dates - PS5 & Xbox - but not even a window for Mac.
They were touted as having their engine running on Metal, and it was one of the first major apps to port to Apple Silicon. The early access worked fine. Unless there was something in the later acts that really broke performance, I can’t see why they didn’t go ahead and release with the engine they had.

I just checked Wikipedia which I think I got it from and it states 9/6 but the link cited as source doesn’t state it anywhere.
They probably have no contractual date with Apple, so they’re prioritising the ones where they do. Also, PS5 and Xbox are both probably bigger markets than Mac.
Okay, thanks! You’re right, that’s the main thing I care about. The far-superior Original Xbox version of GTA: San Andreas (among others) can only be played on Xbox and Xbox 360…
I have only played GTA SA in my PS2 and almost a full playthrough in my iPhone 6s 😂
I agree that the Xbox version is the best one (not sure about the PC version though), which is weird that this statement remains valid as of today lol.
Too many overdue promises. I say this as a long time neopian. Every couple years would play for a few weeks of nostalgia. They’ve promised a lot over the years and I was willing to keep waiting, but the nft drama and disrespect it conveyed to the community really disillusioned me. Haven’t logged on since. Would love to be proven wrong.
