We could give a date that we are aiming to drop the patch, but if any issues arise e.g with Microsoft cert for gamepass, or a last minute bug is found and we need to retest and go through cert again and we have to delay, there will be more upset than if we give a short time frame in which you can expect it - as we are almost positive that we will be able to drop it in that time.
I know it’s frustrating to not have a set date, but this way we can make sure we hit the expectations that we set.
