Baldurs Gate 3 Xbox Release Date
Baldur’s Gate 3 has already launched on August 3 on PC, via Steam and GOG, and soon for the PS5. Due to a split screen issue with the Xbox Series S the Xbox version of Baldurs Gate 3 had to be delayed. With an update via Twitter from Vincke, the Series S will not feature a split-screen coop bringing the launch window for Baldurs Gate 3 to Xbox to sometime this year.
Baldurs Gate 3 Cross Play
With all of the various systems that Baldur’s Gate 3 can be played on one would assume that the title will feature crossplay. Sadly this is not the case. Although gamers can’t play together on different systems, Baldur’s Gate 3 does have cross-progression. This means that all saved data is carried over if a player decides to play on a different platform.
What’s Baldur’s Gate 3 Plot?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the main character along with their companions are all infected with a parasite turning them into mind flayers, which are psychic, alien tyrants. The player’s quest to remove the parasite begins after escaping their alien captors and crashing on a beach. Luckily for players, they do not have to play the other Baldurs’s Gate titles to understand what is happening in Baldur’s Gate 3.
