Baldur’s Gate 3 was the surprise hit of 2023. Larian Studios’ expansive fantasy RPG currently has the highest critic scores of the year, and Xbox fans are eagerly awaiting its release.
The delay is potentially due to development issues with the Xbox Series S version, which cannot support split-screen multiplayer due to hardware limitations. This was corroborated by Larian’s director of publishing. Rumors spread that Larian considered dropping support for the console, but Xbox’s Phil Spencer denied this.
If you’ve played on other platforms, the Xbox version of BG3 will include cross-platform cloud saves, so you won’t have to worry about losing progress if you want to play on the most powerful console. Larian’s CEO, Swen Vinke, announced that the Series X version would include split-screen on social media.
When will Baldur’s Gate 3 come to Xbox Series X?
There’s no set release date for Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox. However, Larian Studios is planning for a release to take place before the end of 2023.
Now, 2023 is nearing its end and no date has been officially announced, making fans worry about the release once again. The suggested release date has been pushed back from “between September and November” to the end of the year, which deflated fans and led to rumors spreading.
Despite the pessimism, Larian’s director of publishing has continually been assuring fans that the title is still set to release on Xbox this year, hopefully in time for the holidays.
