Baldur’s Gate 3, which just won Game of the Year at the 2023 Game Awards, is now available to purchase on Xbox Series X and S. You can buy it now for $69.99.
The Xbox version of the game has been in the works for a little while. A few weeks after the hugely-successful PC launch of the game in August — and just before the release of the PS5 version — Larian Studios announced that it would be bringing Baldur’s Gate 3 to Microsoft’s consoles, though without split-screen co-op on the Xbox Series S.
At the time, Larian also said the Xbox version only allows cross-save between the Steam and Xbox Series consoles, so if you’re hoping to move your PS5 save over to Xbox, you may be out of luck. (Although I’m sure somebody will test the PS5 to Steam to Xbox pipeline for saves, and I hope that works.)
The very good and recently updated RPG is also available on PC, Mac, and PS5. You can preorder a physical deluxe version of the game for PC, PS5, and Xbox right now.
