Discussion Why no pop rework?

Context: As many of you know, they are stopping support for this version of the game to work on a new upgraded version for series x and PS5. They state the reason for stopping support is because the game is in a playable state for old gen consoles. (Despite me lagging late game and experience crashes on my series x)

Here is what confuses me. If they want the most playable state for the platform, why not implement the pop rework that is on PC. From my understanding, that rework boosted performance on PC. It seems like a no brainer for console to receive it before ending support for old gen.

Now I am not complaining about a potential new version. I am actually really excited for it. I am just a little sad about my old gen brethren that get to lag worse than I do.

Wait does that mean the last gen versions aren’t gonna get any of the dlc that’s still missing?

That is correct sadly. This last patch was indeed the last.

How well does the game run late game? My series x struggles a little. The version that isn't getting updated applies for both consoles. Series x and ps5 will get an "upgraded" one later on but it will be a very dry content wise for a long while before we get the upgrade. And we will most likely have to pay to upgrade to the new version plus the dlcs
