Larian Studios made a surprise drop during The Game Awards this past week. The long-awaited Xbox Series X|S release of Baldur's Gate 3 came out late last week. This release includes all of the content, fixes, and adjustments made for the game on the other versions on PC and PlayStation 5.
This Xbox release does come with a small catch. The Xbox Series S version does not include local co-op play due to the hardware limitations of that model, but does allow for online co-op. The Xbox Series X version includes both local split-screen co-op in addition to online co-op.
Patch 5, the latest update, includes two new game modes: Honor and Custom. This content drop also expands upon the game's ending, adding a playable epilogue that’s different for players depending on the choices they’ve made throughout their own personal adventure.
Choose from 12 classes and 11 races from the D&D Player's Handbook and create your own identity, or play as an Origin hero with a hand-crafted background. Or tangle with your inner corruption as the Dark Urge, a fully customizable Origin hero with its own unique mechanics and story. Whoever you choose to be, adventure, loot, battle and romance your way across the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Gather your friends and take the adventure online as a party of up to four.
Baldur’s Gate 3 features cross-platform save-progression through Larian’s own account system, so any player who has started the game on another platform can continue their adventure on Xbox if they purchase the game for Xbox and sign up for a free Larian account.​
