It's no secret that Xbox fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, the latest installment in the popular role-playing franchise. Unfortunately, they are in for a major disappointment; the game will not be available on the Xbox Series X at launch. This is a major blow to Xbox owners, who expected to enjoy the game alongside their PS5 counterparts.
This news has sparked a lot of debate about the Xbox Series S, which many feel is not as powerful as the Series X. Last year, developers raised concerns that the Xbox Series S was holding back the generation, as it was not powerful enough for some games. This led to a heated argument between Xbox fans and game developers, which ultimately led to nothing being resolved.
The reason for this controversy is because developers try to ensure that all versions of a game are as similar as possible, and if something works on the PlayStation 5 but not the Xbox Series S, then it can't be released on Xbox. This was the case with Baldur's Gate 3, which features a split-screen mode that the Xbox Series S cannot handle. As a result, the Xbox version won't be available until next year, much to the dismay of Xbox owners.
It's clear that the Xbox Series S is having a negative impact on the gaming industry. While the console is good value for money, it's preventing games from reaching their full potential. There's no way to know how successful it has been, since Microsoft has not released any sales numbers, but it's clear that it's not as popular as the Xbox Series X in some markets.
Microsoft could have avoided this problem by cancelling the Xbox Series S and making the Xbox Series X more affordable. Alternatively, they could have allowed developers to create different versions of games for different consoles, allowing the Xbox Series S to handle certain features while still allowing Xbox owners to enjoy the full game.
Whatever the case may be, the fact remains that Xbox owners are being denied the chance to play Baldur's Gate 3 in its entirety. It's a shame that a lack of power is preventing people from enjoying one of the most highly anticipated games of the year.
