Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER will launch for Xbox Series alongside its previously announced PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC and Mac (Steam, Epic Games Store) versions in Q1 2022, developer MidBoss announced.
“Neo-San Francisco, with its cyberpunk mix of corporate interests, technological and biological advancement, and diverse cast with a lot of queer characters, has plenty of room for stories exploring the intersection of human nature with society and technology,” said MidBoss CEO Cade Peterson in a press release. “NEURODIVER asks what makes us who we are while furthering the stories of characters like Lexi Rivers from 2064 and the comics taking place between the two games.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its store pages:
