No Rest for the Wicked was released into early access on Steam on April 18 and has quickly established itself as one of the most popular titles on the platform\u2014but console players are having to wait. In a\u00a0post on X (formerly Twitter), Thomas Mahler described the decision to launch\u00a0No Rest for the Wicked\u00a0as an early access title as \"one of the best decisions\" the studio made due to the\u00a0huge\u00a0amount of feedback it's received. The lengthy post explained the benefits that Moon Studios encountered from the decision. Mahler\u00a0expressed his belief\u00a0that\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0would have benefitted from the early access approach and that he's \"confident\" early access releases will result in \"programs that would've never\u00a0been made.\" Mahler was not done there, however, and urged PlayStation and Nintendo to jump onto the early access bandwagon as the industry is changing \"at a rapid pace\" and not following the trends is \"too restrictive.\" He added that preventing players from playing early access titles was a \"disservice\" to the audience as \"people just want to play great games.\" Although\u00a0No Rest for the Wicked\u00a0is set\u00a0to come to console in the future, the early access title is currently only available on Steam\u2014even though Microsoft and Xbox support early access titles. Asked why the game isn't open in early access to Xbox players,\u00a0Mahler stated\u00a0it \"wouldn't be smart to load more onto our plates at the moment.\" While Steam is \"easy breezy,\" console ports are \"quite labor intensive\"\u2014but added that, technically, the title can be played on Xbox already through Geforce Now.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/no-rest-for-the-wicked-platforms-guide-1-e1712754583968.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208572"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1208572"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1208603,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208572\/revisions\/1208603"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1193915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1208572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1208572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

No Rest for the Wicked was released into early access on Steam on April 18 and has quickly established itself as one of the most popular titles on the platform\u2014but console players are having to wait. In a\u00a0post on X (formerly Twitter), Thomas Mahler described the decision to launch\u00a0No Rest for the Wicked\u00a0as an early access title as \"one of the best decisions\" the studio made due to the\u00a0huge\u00a0amount of feedback it's received. The lengthy post explained the benefits that Moon Studios encountered from the decision. Mahler\u00a0expressed his belief\u00a0that\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0would have benefitted from the early access approach and that he's \"confident\" early access releases will result in \"programs that would've never\u00a0been made.\" Mahler was not done there, however, and urged PlayStation and Nintendo to jump onto the early access bandwagon as the industry is changing \"at a rapid pace\" and not following the trends is \"too restrictive.\" He added that preventing players from playing early access titles was a \"disservice\" to the audience as \"people just want to play great games.\" Although\u00a0No Rest for the Wicked\u00a0is set\u00a0to come to console in the future, the early access title is currently only available on Steam\u2014even though Microsoft and Xbox support early access titles. Asked why the game isn't open in early access to Xbox players,\u00a0Mahler stated\u00a0it \"wouldn't be smart to load more onto our plates at the moment.\" While Steam is \"easy breezy,\" console ports are \"quite labor intensive\"\u2014but added that, technically, the title can be played on Xbox already through Geforce Now.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/no-rest-for-the-wicked-platforms-guide-1-e1712754583968.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208572"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1208572"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1208603,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208572\/revisions\/1208603"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1193915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1208572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1208572"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1208572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
