Fans have mixed opinions about this news. One side thinks it is better to play a polished and ready game rather than a broken one that wasn’t optimised for the platform. The other half is significantly dissatisfied as most next-gen consoles are not readily available, and they would’ve liked to play the game from the day it became available to the rest of the world.
