There is good and bad news for Frogwares’ Sherlock Holmes fans. Today, the developer announced that Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is coming to PS4 next week. Unfortunately, sleuths who play on Xbox One will have to wait because the Xbox One release has been postponed indefinitely.
Why Was Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Delayed On Xbox One?
Frogwares explained the situation via a thread on Twitter. For one thing, bringing the game to Xbox One is no easy task.

The statement describes some of the changes needed for Sherlock Holmes Chapter One to run well on PS4 and Xbox One. Frogwares made changes not only behind the scenes but also on the surface. For example, in the PS4 version, the city is missing some alleys on current-gen consoles and PC.
The game is almost ready for release on PS4, so what happened to the Xbox One version? Unfortunately, Frogwares face some significant challenges due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Fans who pre-ordered the game for Xbox can cancel their order and receive a refund. Frogwares concluded today’s announcement by thanking fans for their support. You can read the full announcement in the Twitter thread linked above.
