Finally, Xbox fans have something to look forward to - Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming soon to the Xbox Series X and S! Microsoft has made a special exception for the game's developer, Larian Studios, allowing them to remove the split-screen option from the Xbox Series S version of the game. This is great news, as it means we won't have to wait until 2024 to experience the game on Xbox.
Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, met with Larian Studios to come up with a solution that will allow Baldur's Gate 3 to be released on Xbox this year. Larian Studios founder, Swen Vincke, announced the news on Twitter, saying he's "super happy to confirm that after meeting [Phil Spencer] yesterday, we've found a solution that allows us to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Xbox players this year still, something we've been working towards for quite some time".
The compromise is that the split-screen co-op feature won't be available on the Xbox Series S, but cross-save progression between Steam and Xbox Series will be. Furthermore, these improvements will be available on Xbox Series X. Microsoft has yet to comment on the change in policy, but hopefully a release date will be announced soon.
Baldur's Gate 3 is already available on PC and will be launching on PlayStation 5 on September 6. If you're an Xbox fan and have been eagerly awaiting this game, your patience will soon pay off!
