Unless they shed light on this subject, we will never know. However, I have to give them credit for staying (for the most part) on schedule with this whole COVID situation. Who knows, maybe staying at home to work made them more efficient somehow. Again, we just won't know unless they tell us.

Although I've very excited about this project from the start, a Guinea Pig for Microsoft I will never be - I will sit and wait on the sidelines for a few months and see what shakes out...

Hi Microsoft/Asobo, 

I hope you get to read this or indeed things get passed on. So on the insider with the latest development roadmap it outlines in July more Partnership Releases in addition to the ones we have, also it mentions Mid July a preview into August/September?? It mentions September yet you are releasing it mid August? The timelines have slipped a little although nothing drastic so was just wondering is this really retail ready??? I think the Closed Beta had really confused a few people in terms of testing etc.. And feel maybe it is now being rushed out the door. Are there features missing?? 

Kind regards

No one knows the state of the product that will release in August. It will be pure speculation to assume it is being rushed. It is very likely what is being tested is very different from what will be released. We will just have to sit back and wait it out to see what the released product looks like.

The development obviously doesn't stop with releasing it.
