FULL STORY
======================================================================

Larian Studios' CEO and the director of Baldur's Gate 3 , Swen Vincke, has 
revealed that the RPG will be launching on Xbox Series X|S before December, 
as the team is actually very close to having the game ready. 

Last week, Vincke confirmed that weve found a solution that allows us to 
bring Baldurs Gate 3 to Xbox players this year , after the titles release on 
the two consoles was initially pushed back due to technical hurdles . It was 
also revealed that the Xbox Series S version will no longer include 
split-screen co-op at launch. 

In a new interview with IGN, Vincke revealed that now this solution has been 
found, it shouldnt take that long to get the enormous RPG out and in Xbox 
users hands: "It's 2023. And 2023 is narrowing, so it's already pretty 
precise in my book, Vincke said. Between September and November... So, as 
fast as we can honestly. 

Before Larian Studios full focus is put on the Xbox release, however, the 
team is going to keep its center of attention on the upcoming PS5 version, 
and then shift over to patches for the game on PC. However, Vincke clarified 
that the Xbox Series X version was already in good shape last time I looked 
at it. 

There's a bunch of stuff that needs to happen to finalize it, he explained. 
But I think from a content point of view and from a technical point of view, 
we're actually very close. 

He continued: It was running already before, so it shouldn't take that long. 
It doesn't mean that we are not going to try to make it work also in 
split-screen, because I mean as I said, the team continues to optimize for 
all platforms because we really want to hit 60fps across the board on 
everything. 

For now, fans will just have to stay tuned to see exactly when Baldurs Gate 3 
will be released for Series X|S, but by the sound of it, we wont be waiting 
much longer.
