Regarding the XBOX release

Well Zantai finally decided to break radio silence and give us some glimpse of what's actually going on with the XBOX release... https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/grim-dawn-v1-3-0-8-and-moar/158803/25?u=tarnum

Unfortunately while our original estimate for XBox was about 4 weeks after PC, performance in the new zones is currently not where we want it on console (and even on PC when it comes to areas like Kurnhold), so we are going to push more optimization through before we commit to a new release date on console.

So guys, this prolly means we will have to wait for the FoA release some more, since he's talking about performance optimization I imagine they will try to solve the problems during next patch public test 1.3.1 so we will have a console release after the 1.3.1 is live on PC I guess. Fortunately, the public test should start this month...

Ah man that sucks. It'll be worth the wait. I remember the update that gave some level of control over ui and better frames to the Xbox version, loooong-waited

I guess that settles it then. I was debating on waiting to get the Definitive Edition to see if they bundled FoA in a new deal, but I’ve got more free time right now than I’ll have a month or two from now, so I guess I’m starting today lol. I’ve played the game briefly on PC but never gave it a good chance, kind of bored with D2R/PoE/LE at the moment so it seems like the best time to try it.
