[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60340, member: 1"] Larian Studios has announced that it's found a way to bring Baldur’s Gate 3 to Xbox Series X|S players and that the game will still be able to make it onto the platform this year. “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,” explained Larian founder Swen Vincke. He went on to explain the solution: Xbox Series X consoles will have the split-screen feature while it won’t be available on Xbox Series S. However, all of the hotfixes and improvements implemented so far will be in the Xbox version. Additionally, there'll be cross-save progression between the Steam and Xbox Series versions. Larian previously said it had issues developing the Xbox version of Baldur’s Gate 3 due to the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-on-xbox-series-xs-exists-announcement-delayed-due-to-technical-issues']Xbox Series S’ hardware[/URL], and specifically that the studio was struggling to get split-screen co-op to run on it.
