Baldur’s Gate 3 Heads to Xbox in 2023!

 

Since its much-anticipated launch on PC this August, Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken the gaming world by storm. With an impressive score of 96 on Metacritic, it's proven to be on par with other heavyweights like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, even securing its spot as the best-reviewed game of the year 2023.

But what about the PS5 players eagerly waiting to dive into this epic adventure? Hold tight, because the game has finally landed on the PS5 on September 3, 2023. However, there's been a lingering question mark hanging over the heads of Xbox owners—will they ever get a chance to embark on this journey?

Thankfully, the fog of uncertainty is lifting, and we're here with some exciting news straight from the heart of Larian Studios. Swen Vincke, the visionary behind the studio, has revealed that the team has cracked the code and found a way to bring Baldur’s Gate 3 to Xbox this very year. The journey to get here hasn't been without its challenges, especially with the Xbox Series S throwing a wrench in the works.

Hold your breath, Xbox fans, because both the Series X and Series S are about to welcome Baldur’s Gate 3 into their gaming libraries. However, there's a small trade-off on the table. The Series S version, while equally thrilling, won't feature local split-screen co-op. It's a bittersweet pill to swallow, no doubt. But consider this: a Baldur’s Gate 3 compromise on Xbox is infinitely better than no Baldur’s Gate 3 at all, right?

Vincke, with his signature clarity, also put to rest another burning question. Yes, you can rejoice, for cross-save progression is on the horizon! Seamlessly shuttle your hard-earned save data between your Steam and Xbox accounts, bridging the gap between platforms and letting you pick up right where you left off.

So there you have it, folks! The saga continues, and the horizon for Baldur’s Gate 3 has expanded to welcome the Xbox community. A tumultuous journey, a few sacrifices, but the promise of adventure awaits, united across different gaming realms. Stay tuned for more updates as we gear up for an unforgettable chapter in the world of RPG gaming. Your next adventure is just around the corner!
