Swen Vincke, founder and CEO of Larian Studios, confirmed via social media that Baldur’s Gate 3 will make its way to Xbox Series X in 2023. However, no definitive release date or window is available yet. Vincke shared that Larian Studios found a way to get the game on Microsoft hardware in 2023 after a recent meeting with Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming. More information about the Xbox version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will come at a later date.
Vincke also shared that the Xbox Series X version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will feature all improvements, including split-screen co-op. However, while the Xbox Series S version of the game won’t be able to support this feature, the developer confirmed that it will include cross-save progression between Steam and Xbox Series consoles.
