It doesn’t work with game streaming feature of the Xbox App. The game will load from console and stream to the App in Windows 10, but the game doesn’t recognize input from my XB1 controller when streaming. I have not encountered this problem with any other games.

Should have been out for months now.

Hi Jonathan, any updates on this since it has been a couple of months since the game was classified? I went to the Museum for Moving Images in Melbourne a few days ago and got to try the game for a few minutes, felt and looked amazing… Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Hong Kong market shouldn’t need rating ….
But anyway, thank you for quick reply.
I will find a way to buy in US market or steam…
Thanks!

Unfortunately we are not released in Asia on Xbox One because of ratings + business territory issues! Sorry about that!

+1 for HDR support. I already purchased my copy, but I haven’t spun it up yet (looks like Xmas break will be when I dig in). Any chance, given the similar work on the PS4 Pro, that the XB1S will get HDR in the foreseeable future?

I am also interested to know if Xbox One will be getting an HDR patch. I just got the Xbox One S and a Samsung KS8000 and am now in love with HDR gaming. I’ve heard many great things about The Witness but HDR news will be the deciding factor for me in picking up the Xbox One version.

Any word on whether an HDR update will be coming to the Xbox One S?

Since it’s release for XBox One, are there any plans of bring it to Windows through the Windows Store?

can you comment on wether the two mac(steam) and ios versions aim to be released at the same time, or are they two different beasts and expected to launch at different times?

We are still working on it! It’s getting close, but we are a small team and doing a lot of ports.

As time goes on, I also lose hope that it’ll work on an iPad 2. Oh well!

It appears the Australian Classification Board classified the game on 26 October 2016. Surely it will not take too much longer to make it available on the Xbox One Australia Store?

We have submitted the rating materials (even getting to that point took a while). Now it’s purely just up to them.

But other then that, looking forward to playing it on the Xbox!

Do you guys have at least a rough timeframe of when the rating process will be completed and the game will be released for us Aussies?

Even as rough as: Within the next 2 weeks, or December 2016 etc etc.

Look, as far as we are concerned, we would just like to push the button and release the game. However, we can’t do that, Microsoft requires us to be rated locally, and that process seems to be very slow. There is not really anything we can do to make it go faster. It will happen eventually. If it were up to us, the game would have been released in Australia and New Zealand at the same time as with the rest of the world, just as it was on Steam and the PS4.

Is there any sign that it will be available or should I just lose all hope?

Wonderful, brilliant game!

what’s there to rate? It’s a puzzle game void of violence and the like.

So far I’ve finally activated the seven you-know-whats and then entered the inside of the mountaintop. There’s more?!?!?!

I had to go to work… But I can’t wait to get back home and solve puzzles in the mountaintop.

To all of Thekla – thanks so much for porting this to XB1, and for making possibly the best game ever made.

By the way, when I found my first “bee-hive” diagram, took it to the Windmill’s underground bunker, and realized what it does, I was very impressed. I mean when I activate those suckers, I just sit back and get educated. Loved Feynman especially.
