When is Balder's Gate 3 out on Xbox?

Above.

Sony fans are currently crying about losing PS5 exclusivity on it, but cry me a river! 1994 rang, they want their period of crowing about exclusives back.

I am aware of Google.

Apparently XBox declined to have BG3 for Game Pass as they rated it poorly (I believe the phrase was "second-run").

XBox 1 isn't able to play the game at all.

Originally, "technical difficulties" was the excuse used to explain why there wasn't an XBox version available at launch. As a result of XBox accepting that there will not be parity between the consoles, it now looks like the game will be coming sometime in the next few months, but no word as to a date.

Series S won't have split-screen co-op play.

Series X will have the co-op play.

So if you want to experience the game in it's fullest, you will need to have a Series X.

I have a Series X, and if I had the funds, I'd buy another one to use at my Parents.

Yeah I thought that, I didn't hear anything being said about BG3 being released on game pass lol

I was all like "ummm it is coming out on Xbox??"

I'm pretty sure whatever option you pick you are gonna have a hard time because the game is just massive so understandably it's going to be so demanding to run

Smh, and they wonder why Sony fans are so toxic against Xbox?!

Should be coming this month. The issue was porting it to the Series S, its not quite powerful enough to fully run BG3 without a miriad of issues.
