As reported by Windows Central, Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart revealed the extent of the studio’s expansion since it was acquired by Microsoft in a recent interview with IGN.

However, while the SNES famously has an excellent lineup of RPGs, as does the Sega Saturn, PS2, GBA, DS, 3DS, PS4, and Switch, it is clear that the original PlayStation goes toe-to-toe with them all.
