[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60385, member: 1"] The Xbox Series S version of hit role-playing game Baldur's Gate 3 won't have split-screen when it launches later this year, but that's not to say it won't receive the feature after launch. A message on the official Xbox Twitter account (below) gave Series S players hope. "To answer some questions we're getting, we'll continue to work with [developer] Larian to explore the addition of split-screen on Series S post launch," it said. Baldur's Gate 3 currently lacks a release date on Xbox despite having already launched on PC and its [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-pc-release-date-brought-forward-a-month-avoiding-starfield-clash']coming to PlayStation 5 on September 6[/URL]. Larian wasn't able to get split-screen working on the weaker Series S, and Microsoft's feature parity policy prevented the studio from releasing even on the more powerful Series X.
