Something that i didn’t see any people comment on his how one of the screenshots shows multiplayer with 2 windows open but 3 players because one of the windows is split screen, now we all know you don’t really have split screen on computers right?
So my guess is 4.x will be ported to console like how PUBG was, not sure if Nelson himself will be doing this or with the help of another studio nor which console he might be porting to.
It would be unless there was cross-platform integration (which is difficult and slow, and I’d imagine it’d be far more cumbersome for Nelson to do as a lone developer).
It’s not commented on that much because people already knew it (splitscreen) was planned for a while. While there aren’t plans for porting to console, there is controller support.
Splitscreen can function with a keyboard and controller as separate controllers, and while not optimal for some typical monitors it will work “good” for anyone using a TV monitor for whatever reason. (ie: Steam Link or primary monitor.)
There are no plans at the moment to bring 4 to consoles. My focus is entirely on PC and improving the experience of the game on PC, so it wouldn’t be me working on the console version.
