That might not be a bad thing, Xbox users...
AFL 23 on Xbox has now been delayed into August, developer Big Ant has recently confirmed.
This is the latest is a number of delays for the footy title; originally expected in April, AFL 23 was first delayed to May before the Xbox version was again delayed into June.
A lack of physical copies of the game on consoles was the reason for the April to May delay; no reason was ever given for the Xbox delay into June. It now looks like that excuse of a physical disc has wormed its way back into this new delay.
“We will be distributing XBox [sic] disks to retailers at the end of July/Early August, as we approach that time we will have a more definitive date,” Big Ant said on Twitter. “We sincerely appreciate the support and patience of the XBox [sic] community.”
The beleagured title, already released on Windows PC via Steam and PlayStation, was launched in an extremely poor state. A number of patches have been released since, and while the title is more stable than before, it’s not a game we’d recommend for purchase at this point.
Ben and Steve will chat about the current state of AFL 23 on next week’s Friendly Fire Show.
