Multiplat AFL 23 - PS/Steam Releasing May 4, Xbox TBC

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

WHEN CAN I PLAY? READ BELOW:

• PlayStation (Physical): Thursday 4 May
• PlayStation (Digital): 8:01am AEST Thursday 4 May
• Steam: Currently 8:01am AEST Thursday 4 May, may be moved to 12:01am AEST
• Xbox (Digital or Physical): TO BE CONFIRMED, unlikely to be 4 May

Spoiler: Specific Big Ant quotes about the release:

Those that pre-ordered PS versions will be able to play on Thursday, disks will have already been mailed by retailers, they will also be available in-store.

Steam will also be available Thursday.

Stating the obvious, we are still having issues with XBox.

Seriously, anyone that looks hard knows there’s issues - why do you think there are so many exclusives for a particular platform that are not marked as exclusive, but are only on that platform.

If I took that road, life would have been a lot easier.

Xbox digital and retail will release at the same time - that is not a decision we get to make.

It applies now and I will no doubt pay a price.

Hamish is still there, Daisy didn't make it into the final version of the game.

We added Gary and increased the workload of Harf.

Re: game availability/release dates

I can never give 100% guarantee about anything in the future, but as it stands today, the statement I am prepared to make it that all stock that is at retailers on 4 May will be available for sale.

As to the amount that will be there for sale, and whether it is enough, that is a question I cannot answer.

It will be made digitally available on the various platform holder electronic stores.

Clarifying, the game will not release prior to 4 May 2023.

I am vague as there is one platform that has had sufficient stock at retailers and the other has not, and I cannot name them (contractual reasons).

The game will not be further delayed because of the numbers of units in stock.

Re: Steam listing

I've already put in a request for the screenshots to be replaced with current ones, they'll probably only be there for a day.

As much as the feedback has generally been positive, these are old, meant to be placeholder only and were not meant to go live.

Re: playing lists

All playing lists are accurate for the 2023 season.

Re: content creator footage

This is all prior to day one patch (as some have noted updates like numbers etc are apparent)

Re: Career mode

A head's up on Career mode.

At the AFL 23 Launch night I mentioned the non-team based Individual Career Mode in an interview with Dean (Twistie3). As alluded to at that same event, we were working with the AFL and AFLPA to include as many past legends in the game as possible.

The great news is that we have received approval for far more AFL legends than were previously envisaged, but this has meant that we had to make the tough decision to divert resources away from the Individual Career mode development. The individual Career Mode function will not make it into AFL 23, Career Mode will be entirely team based. I expect this mode to be include in future iterations of the game.

Re: microtransactions

You do not have to make purchases, things can be earned.

Re: general development

So fundamentally flawed, in so many ways, it’s bananas.

We are doing AFL as it’s a passion project, without us doing it there would not be one being made.

So much more upside with making games that are played internationally, let alone one that will not even be played in every state in this country.

The best part about supporting Fremantle is that after a while there's no internal struggle anymore, only acceptance and peace.

Acceptance, peace and Alex Pearce’s AFL 23 model with the sickest mo you’ll ever see

Give me a Jeff Farmer with his mullet and it doesn't matter to me what guernsey they put him in.

Wanna trade for Trent Croad?

"Game is finally starting to look good for a PS2 game, hope my N64 can run it."

Someone better stream this stupid game at midnight, I can't be bothered waiting any more.

“Cant wait to dust of the PS2 for this game”

It’s always the kids that weren’t even alive to see the PS2

 

[BrandonMyers02!]

See I tried that... the silence of unanswered messages left on read was deafening. Joking of course. Very excited about the next few weeks, although the 12th can not come soon enough.

This is an interesting idea. I'll add it to my list.

Sorry if i missed it but what’s on the 12th JNT BA

If I buy it on PS4 instead of my Xbox series x is there much of a difference in the two.

Tossing up wether to buy or just wait?

I asked earlier
Ross said the difference isn’t huge, hence why crossplay is available

Edit: I’ll be doing the same

Buy it on PS4, once the Xbox version comes out trade it in to EB, price match EB with JB

I'd rather be hit in the knackers with a sledgehammer than subject myself to that app.
