Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t locked to any platform, although

Larian Studios has locked in a launch date for Baldur’s Gate 3 and confirmed the RPG can be coming to PlayStation 5 alongside PC and Mac. The absence of Xbox has led Larian Studios to make clear, although, that the State of Play announcement doesn’t imply there’s any platform exclusivity.

Followers questioned whether or not Xbox would additionally obtain Baldur’s Gate 3, after Larian solely confirmed PS5, PC, and Mac. Over on Reddit, Larian’s group supervisor posted an replace on why precisely that’s:

Xbox gamers, we’ve seen your questions on if/when you may anticipate Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox.

There’s no platform exclusivity stopping us from releasing BG3 on Xbox day and date, ought to that be a technical chance. If and after we do announce additional platforms, we need to ensure every model lives as much as our requirements & expectations. Thanks for understanding!

Forging the story

So whereas nothing’s set in stone, it does appear to be Larian is not less than engaged on a model of Baldur’s Gate 3 for Xbox. On the very least, there isn’t a platform exclusivity tying the model down if all the things clicks into place.

It’s an odd however refreshing little bit of readability to see, contemplating how secretive studios can generally be with platforms. For Xbox homeowners, I do hope they get an opportunity to do this out, whether or not at launch or later. And for homeowners of the opposite choices, Baldur’s Gate 3 goes dwell on August 31.
