Announced in 2020, Quantum Error is set to release soon and the devs seem still trying to find the best optimization combination for different consoles.

The dilemma has some community members outraged with the launch date creeping closer.

Devs clarify SSD speeds will play a pivotal role in user experience
In their tweet from July 23, Quantum Error devs have said that the game will run just as well graphically on both Xbox and PS consoles. However, the slower SSD speed of the Xbox is an issue and it needs to be managed accordingly.
