Will the game be on Xbox Series X?

Will it be like civilization 6? I ask because the description it gives on Microsoft edge says this: Star Trek: Infinite is a 4X grand strategy video game developed by Argentinian studio Nimble Giant Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive. In Star Trek: Infinite, players take control of one of four Star Trek civilizations interstellar civilization on the galactic stage and are tasked with exploring, colonizing, and engaging minor nations and other major civilizations with diplomacy, trade, or warfare.

When does it come out? On Microsoft edge it says it will release in 2023 and if that’s true we only got a couple days left 😅🤣

        4X games don’t really work on controllers.

        EDIT: apparently Stellaris did eventually come to consoles three years after its initial release so it’s not totally impossible but I sure wouldn’t want to play Stellaris without a mouse or without mods

          Age of wonders 4 is on console. Civ 6 and cantata are on console. Dune spice wars is coming to console. Not bringing Star Trek infinite to console over “controller” is lame and a big miss opportunity imo.

            Bringing a 4x to console is a reasonably large undertaking. It’s not just the work that goes into creating an intuitive controller scheme, and establishing input speeds etc., it’s all the additional UI that it requires (unit selection etc). Then there is getting it past the platform holder. Used to be a complex system, it’s become easier in the last 10 years, but you still have to have a save system that’s compatible with the requirements of the platform, you still have to be able to support suspend and resume in your gameplay, you still have to put in trophies and achievements. It’s months of work for a small team, and ultimately, if it won’t pay the bills, then they can’t justify doing it.
