Baldur’s Gate 3 is finally on its way to Xbox consoles after a positive update from Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke. The highly anticipated game was released on PC in August, followed by a PlayStation 5 release in September and a Mac release in October. Xbox players have been eagerly waiting for their turn, and the developers initially cited a parity issue with Xbox Series S as the reason for the delay. However, Xbox’s Phil Spencer denied this at Gamescom, and a solution was eventually found. Now, Vincke has shared news of a breakthrough that brings the Xbox release closer than ever.
Vincke revealed that the engineers have made significant progress in developing the game for Xbox consoles. They have successfully addressed memory control and buffering issues, which were the main obstacles holding back the Xbox release. This breakthrough not only benefits Xbox players but also improves the game’s performance on all platforms. While there is still some work left to be done, Vincke expressed confidence that the Xbox release is very close now.
This update is not only exciting for Xbox players but also for fans on other platforms. The fix implemented by the engineers will enhance the overall gaming experience for everyone. Prior to this breakthrough, the memory control and buffering issues were major concerns, but now they have been effectively resolved.
As someone who has already spent countless hours playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC but primarily plays on Xbox, I am thrilled by this update. It seems that Vincke shares the same enthusiasm, and I am hopeful that we will see the game drop on Xbox before Christmas. In anticipation, I am already trying to convince my wife to embark on a playthrough with me. Wish me luck!
