The most anticipated title of the spring is just over a month away for Xbox One owners, but Xbox 360 gamers will be waiting just a bit longer.
Eager Xbox One and PC players will be able to hear “Standby for Titanfall” for themselves on March 11, but if you have an Xbox 360 you’re going to have to wait an extra two weeks. The EA blog lit up today with an update to the project, explaining that in order to make sure the Titanfall launch for the PC and Xbox One are as smooth as possible, there’s going to be a delay on the 360 version.
As Titanfall requires a great deal of cloud computing, and the two Xbox versions will be on separate server clusters, the initial focus is important for a successful launch.
After the launch of the game, we may wind up seeing Titanfall in one other place. Vince Zampella of Respawn has suggested that a Mac version of the game may happen at some point after the initial launch. Since the game is exclusive to the Xbox One on consoles and the PC version will require Origin instead of Steam, you won’t be able to stream the game through Valve’s new gaming service.
A Mac version would be a great direction to head after launch, and will open the door to users who aren’t directly invested in any of Microsoft’s properties.
