Attention all Xbox gamers! We have some bittersweet news about a beloved indie game, SunnySide, that's about to undergo a significant change. Get ready for a cozy farming sim adventure that might just be leaving the Xbox store soon!
Aftabi Games, the original developer behind SunnySide, has recently regained full control of the game. However, this comes with a catch - they've announced that SunnySide will be delisted from the Xbox store. But here's where it gets controversial: the developer has cited issues with the Xbox version, stating it's not up to their standards and cannot be improved further.
In a recent update, Aftabi Games shared their plans for SunnySide's future, which unfortunately exclude Xbox. They explained that the Xbox version is in a state they're not proud of and that leaving it available without proper support would be unfair to players. So, they've made the tough decision to delist it.
The good news is, if you already own SunnySide, you can still play it. However, there won't be any further updates for the Xbox version. Aftabi's focus is on stabilizing and improving the PC version, and they hope to revisit console ports once the game and their studio are in a better position.
For those interested in SunnySide, it's currently available on the Microsoft Store for $34.99 / £29.99 / €34.99. While it might seem pricey for a game that needs some work, remember that it hasn't had a physical release, so this could be your last chance to grab it.
So, will you be rushing to get your hands on SunnySide before it's delisted? Let us know in the comments! And this is the part most people miss: delisting isn't always a bad thing. It can mean the developer is working hard to improve the game and bring it back better than ever. What do you think? Is delisting a necessary evil to improve games, or should developers find other ways to address issues?
