So if you own this on Xbox One you can upgrade for free on November 10 for the Series X|S version. The timed next-gen stuff is weird but cool for those who have it on Xbox or have yet to play this good puzzle game.
Update: Clarification on exclusivity
Thought I'd post this in the OP as the exclusivity has been questioned but it's been clarified in the thread by the Manifold Garden producer. This decision was based on the small team having to prioritise. This wasn't a business deal, just what the team tackled first by choice due to the size of the team.
Hey! We weren't offered any money. This was just a decision because of limited resources and only having five people working full time on the team.
Update #2: Further information on exclusivity, PS5 upgrade, additional upgrade info
Hey all, just a few last bullet points here to help clear things up. I appreciate all the questions and discussion about the game! The Xbox Series X version of Manifold is something I was the project lead on and I'm super passionate about it. I can't wait until next week when we have footage and more details to show.
- We can't talk about the business realities such as why we're on Xbox first vs PlayStation, who authored what language, etc. I can however be clear - no deal was signed, nor money changed hands, regarding a next-gen upgrade policy. We were working on the Series X|S version, and it was ready for launch (in fact, it's already live for anyone with the hardware as of today.) No conspiracy theories here.
- The fact that our PlayStation answer is "stay tuned" comes from us, not any of our business partners. We don't want to talk about things until we have details and an announcement ready.
- While the contents of it may be redundant for many on this forum who keep up to date with how these programs work, we put together an FAQ about the Xbox console upgrade process in relation to Manifold Garden, as well as the Series X|S versions of the game, that you can find here. Again, hardcore industry followers aren't necessarily the target audience, but you can hopefully find something of value there!
