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

 Baldurs Gate 3 s Xbox Series X|S version is apparently still experiencing 
some save data issues, but players have been reassured that they now seem to 
be much rarer following a recent firmware update. 

In case you were unfamiliar, not long after the Xbox Series X |S version of 
Baldur's Gate 3 released at The Game Awards on December 7, some fans reported 
issues with their save files disappearing following a crash . Larian Studios 
and Microsoft have been investigating the matter since - Xbox users were 
advised to keep their consoles connected to power even when switched off, and 
close their game entirely when theyre done playing. 

On Saturday (December 16), Larian Studios director of publishing, Michael 
Douse, shared on Twitter / X that the save issues are still lingering with 
new reports coming in from players, despite the fact that the most recent 
firmware should have solved it. However, reports since Thursdays update are 
down over 75%. 

Were in a holding pattern at the moment, since its firmware side, Douse wrote 
.. Do keep your Xbox connected to the internet as much as you can. 

If I lost my saves I would not be ok with that. So I get it, he continued. I 
just want you to know that people are actively looking at it. Hopefully we 
hear more soon. 

He reiterated the previous advice of closing the game fully and keeping 
consoles connected to power in order to prevent the issue from happening in 
the first place, noting that statistically you shouldnt have any issues. 

In other news, last week, Baldurs Gate 3 s director and the CEO of Larian 
Studios, Swen Vincke, revealed that it was decided from the get-go that the 
enormous role-playing game wouldnt be available to play via Xbox Game Pass . 
He told IGN : We are in the business of making a game that has a beginning, 
middle, and an end. We made a big game, so I think there's a fair price to be 
paid for that, and I think that that is okay.
