Baldur's Gate 3 Xbox Series S issues being ironed out, getting "very close now"

As mentioned previously, the Xbox delay was due to issues getting split-screen co-op to work on Series S. Because Microsoft requires parity between the Series X and Series S, Larian was unable to provide a release date for the Xbox version until split-screen worked on Series S. However, Microsoft worked with Larian on the issue, and now BG3 can be released on Xbox Series X when ready, but Series S will not feature split-screen co-op, as reported in August.

“All improvements will be there, with split-screen co-op on Series X. Series S will not feature split-screen co-op, but will also include cross-save progression between Steam and Xbox Series,” said Vincke at the time.

Larian Studios is making headway with the Xbox Series S version of Baldur’s Gate 3.
