    Great post! Definitely helpful with the Unity drama going on now. I had initially started my game dev journey on Godot, but recently switched to unity bc of console support. Really thinking about switching back, especially now that v4 is out.

      Godot has console support now. I think it has for a couple of years, actually.

        The linked article literally says it is not officially supported though, so which one is right? Are you talking about W4 which sounds like some unofficial WIP workaround?

          Iirc, console development requires signing an NDA or something, which is why there are no official docs on porting a Godot game to Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch. There are, however, third party companies that Godot vouches for that have a good track record of specializing in porting Godot games to consoles.
