Flytten belyser plattformens pågående problem trots stadiga uppdateringar.

Det fulla priset på 40 dollar kvarstår på PlayStation 5 och Steam. Alinea Analytics tidigare uppskattningar redovisade cirka 130 000 Xbox-exemplar under den första månaden jämfört med 800 000 på Steam och 217 000 på PS5, där Xbox-recensionerna ligger långt efter (1 000 betyg mot 11 000 på PSN och 35 000 på Steam).
