Baldur's Gate 3, praised as one of the greatest RPGs of all time, is set to come to Xbox before the end of 2023.
Larian Studios is confident in its plan to release Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox before the end of the year, though the exact date is still unknown. The game, considered one of the most celebrated of 2023, has reminded gamers of its upcoming Xbox debut. Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, has received critical acclaim and holds an impressive Metacritic score of 96, rivaling The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is widely praised as one of the greatest RPGs ever created.
Xbox fans are still awaiting the release of Baldur's Gate 3 on their platform. Unfortunately, the game was unable to be run with split-screen co-op on the Xbox Series S, which led to a delay in its release. Despite efforts to make it work, Larian Studios was unsuccessful in getting the game to run on the less powerful console. However, they decided to proceed with releasing Baldur's Gate 3 on both the Xbox Series X and Series S without the split-screen co-op feature. Although it's been several weeks since the game launched on PC and PS5, Xbox fans are eagerly anticipating its arrival. Larian Studios' Director of Publishing, Michael Douse, reassured fans on Twitter that they are confident in their plan to release Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox before the end of 2023.
Despite Larian Studios' clear ambition to release Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox this year, the question remains about where this massive fantasy RPG will eventually hit the gaming scene. It seems highly unlikely that it will be ready by the end of October, considering the lack of information and the dominance of blockbuster titles like Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. However, Larian and gamers can take solace in the fact that November and December are a lot quieter in terms of major AAA releases. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will both be available in early November, while Ubisoft's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora stands as the sole big game set for December.
Baldur's Gate 3 may have favorable opportunities for an Xbox release in late November or December. However, time is running out for its arrival on Xbox, as Larian would probably want to announce it a few weeks before the actual release date. Currently, Baldur's Gate 3 is already available for PC and PS5, and development is underway for Xbox Series X|S.
