Many players were surprised to hear that the long-awaited PC game, Scorn, would also be coming to the Xbox Series X. Footage of Scorn was revealed at the Xbox third-party event and many players are looking forward to what appears to be a sci-fi horror that is filled with eerie environments. While players have wondered why, what seemed to be an exclusively PC game, would come to the Xbox, the team behind the game has begun to answer this question.
The game is set to be a first-person shooter with a strong artistic style that draws from the survival horror genre. Many Xbox players are excited to see a new horror game arrive for the Xbox Series X and it seems that there is a good reason for the game coming solely to the next-generation console and PC. In an interview with the director of Scorn, Ljubomir Peklar, unpacked why the game is coming to the Xbox Series X.
The director of the game explained why the game is being released on the Xbox Series X, "Good performance of the game is important to us. Xbox Series X is a very capable hardware that enables parity with the PC version of the game." With this in mind, it seems to be a logical step for the developer as it will increase the possible audience for the game, and Peklar described the decision to bring Scorn to the Xbox Series X as "very simple." Interestingly, Peklar claimed that "We can’t discuss any info regarding PlayStation” and this may be because of a legal issue baring discussion, or because the developer simply does not know details about the console. Many fans of the PlayStation consoles will hope that this statement is connected to a lack of official knowledge rather than the upcoming console under-performing when compared to the Xbox Series X.
Many have called for the Xbox Series X to incorporate new franchises and the inclusion of Scorn suggests the console is broadening the gaming library of the Xbox consoles. It will be interesting to see footage of more games that utilize the specs of the Xbox Series X and many will hope that more games are announced soon. A great deal of Xbox fans will want a large catalog of games that uses the impressive hardware of the upcoming console.
The statement about the specifications of the console, by Peklar, coincides with Phil Spencer claiming that the value of Xbox Series X can't be seen in video gameplay but the actual experience because of its ability to give 60fps in 4k. With the fluidity Phil Spencer is promising, and the confidence that Peklar has in the performance of the console, it seems that the Xbox Series X will be able to run some impressive titles. Many horror fans will hope that Scorn and the Xbox Series X manage to live up to the technical achievements that have been boasted.
Scorn is in development for PC and Xbox Series X.
