Baldur’s Gate 3 will, in fact, come to Xbox later this year, developer Larian has confirmed. However, the Series S edition won’t be up to par with the Series X version. Studio boss Swen Vincke said on X/Twitter that Larian has “found a solution” to bring Baldur’s Gate 3 to Xbox players later this year.
Vincke said he met with Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. Together, they found this solution, and it seems to be dropping split-screen support on Series S, at least at launch. Vincke said finding a way to get Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox was “something we’ve been working towards for quite some time.”
The Xbox version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will have “all improvements” from the PC edition made through its various updates so far, as well as split-screen co-op for Series X. However, the Series S edition will not support split-screen co-op. The Series S version will have cross-save progression between Steam and Xbox Series X|S.
