As a reminder, Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One was first released on PS5, Xbox Series and PC putting aside older consoles to simplify the studio’s task, the work of optimizing the game on PS4 and Xbox One turning out to be more important than expected. “We tried to extract as much as possible from the old consoles. Lots of unseen work has been done, but also clearly visible changes like the ones made to the city map on the PS4 and Xbox One versions so the game can run more smoothly (we cut some alleys, shortcuts, etc). And as we got closer and closer to finalizing these versions, the war came.“, explains the press release from Frogwares.
“To say the war had an impact on us is probably the understatement of the decade. Not to mention our personal and mental situation, the war had a huge impact on us from a production point of view. Today, with the resources and manpower we have, we can release the PS4 version of Chapter One on April 28th. On the other hand, we must postpone the Xbox One version indefinitely“, adds Frogwares, who obviously regrets having to come to this point given the time and money lost. Xbox is in any case aware of the situation and Xbox One players who have pre-ordered the game can cancel their order and obtain a full refund.
