When will Baldur’s Gate 3 come to Xbox Series X and S? Maybe 2024

After years of development and early access availability, Larian Studios’ Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3On August 3, the Mac and Windows PC version will officially be released. On Sept. 6, a PlayStation 5 version will be released. Larian said the Xbox platform is still a long way off. Baldur’s Gate 3Michael Douse – the Director of Publishing at Studio – has stated that the movie may not be released until 2024.

Douse echoed Larian creative director Swen Vincke in explaining that it’s not “playing the exclusivity game” with Xbox fans, but that technical limitations are preventing an Xbox Series X (and Series S) release of Baldur’s Gate 3.

“We’ve said many times in the past that the issue is getting split-screen working on the Series S, which is taking more time, but is in progress,” Douse said on Twitter. “This is a huge technical hurdle, but we are unable to release the game on the ecosystem without this feature.”

Added Douse, “We cannot remove the split-screen feature because we are obliged to launch with feature parity, and so continue to try and make it work. We have quite a few engineers working very hard to do what no other RPG of this scale has achieved: seamless drop-in, drop-out co-op on Series S. We hope to have an update by the end of the year.”

Larian has been cautious to commit officially to a Xbox Series X and S edition of the game. This was noted in February. At the time, the studio said, “We are still working on an Xbox version of BG3, but we’re not yet confident enough to announce it. We don’t like announcing anything until we’re ready, because we don’t want to get peoples hopes up until we’re sure we can deliver.”

The Series S, Microsoft’s lower-power, lower-cost version of the current-generation Xbox has been at the center of a debate over the last year regarding whether the console is “holding back gaming” or, at the very least, resulting in compromises for Xbox Series X games. Digital Foundry’s game hardware experts argue against this theory. However, it seems to hold true at least for the Xbox Series X games. Baldur’s Gate 3. Microsoft and Larian will no doubt try to use some sort of engineering wizardry in order to bring the much-anticipated RPG to a Series S or X.

Xbox fans will likely have to wait until next year. Beamdog’s Baldur’s GateYou can also find out more about the following: Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Editions might help pass the time — you might even have the time to finish one of those games before Baldur’s Gate 3Xbox 360 is coming soon
