Not when it comes to memory. The Xbox SS only has 10GB combined system memory and VRAM. The PC version of BG3 requires 8GB system memory plus 4GB of VRAM, so the SS is a couple gigabytes short in total.
Going by the Steam hardware survey, 95% of PCs have at least 8GB of system memory, with 16GB being easily the most common amount. 80% have at least 4GB of VRAM, with 8GB being the most common amount.
Apparently Microsoft wants games to run with only 6GB of shared memory in case there are too many background stuff taking up ram
That number is - well, let’s just say, the correct value can be found in the docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/_content/gc/intro/whatsnew/archive/whats-new-2206
“Access to this topic requires membership in an NDA developer program”
So, uh, what’s the correct value, then?
For obvious reasons I can’t post it publicly before MS discloses it. They are currently migrating more and more GDK docs to the public site, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the link became publicly available soon, but currently one still needs to register a dev account to access it.
What? The PC version has split screen.

I’m pretty sure split screen is supported on PC?

It’s available on PC, but not on Steam Deck.

Valve lets you identify the deck. It’s probably just a flag that hides the reference to it.
Seems like!
It’s not a bespoke build; they just disabled the function on Steam Deck.

And for the record, you can run split screen on the Steam Deck; it’s just not supported.
