Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox release coming 2023; split-screen dropped on Series S

Compromise!

Baldur’s Gate 3 will release on Xbox this year, developer Larian said, at the cost of split-screen on the Xbox Series S.

The announcement was made after Larian’s Swen Vincke met with Xbox head Phil Spencer at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.

“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,” Vincke said on Twitter.

“All improvements will be there, with split-screen coop on Series X. Series S will not feature split-screen co-op, but will also include cross-save progression between Steam and Xbox Series.”

Baldur’s Gate 3 is already available on Windows PC and heads to PS5 in early September; an exact Xbox release date isn’t yet known.
