Xbox One & Series X

When "Window/Text Size Settings" is selected on the Xbox versions, an additional prompt appears asking players whether they want to adjust the settings for PSO2 or PSO2NGS. As PSO2's HUD size options are still done through the launcher, ths prompt isn't present in the PC version; selecting this option takes the player straight to NGS' settings.
