Baldur's Gate 3 Xbox Release Date is moving foward. The game will feature cross-progresison between Steam and Xbox.
Baldur's Gate 3 is coming to Xbox this year without split-screen coop on the Series S
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
This is solid news. Decent precedent going forward for Series S parity. MS should make sure they have games coming that actually do support local MP on the S tho, because that's a major draw for casual players.
Of course lol. This might be the end of parity between the S and the X.
Desperate time requires desperate measures.

This is bad news for both folks that wanted to play local co op on a console CRPG.

Good, now xbox players can enjoy the game too. series s owners can rot
It was always the right decision.
The number of people using the split screen feature is very small compared to the numbers of Xbox players playing the game.

It would take longer, they decided to give up.
i think the problem is they were having problems downgrading the game enough to fit in the series S ram budget, without it looking and running like absolute dogshit
Wasn’t MS’ internal teams helping them? That’s a big lol if so.
No matter how many engineers you throw at the problem, they won't be able to magically solve the lack of RAM.
Class-action lawsuit should be imminent. Microsoft deserves it, for misleading people who genuinely purchased a Series S expecting content parity with Series X and lower resolution. Baldur's Gate 3 will NOT be the last 3P game getting an exemption on parity; it will be the first. Many more 3P games will insist similar exceptions or threaten to skip releasing on Xbox platforms (in some cases, at all).
That said, I DO think it's the right decision by Microsoft ultimately to drop the parity requirement between Series systems. It's an ultimate admittance that they feel Series S was a mistake, a doorstop and dead-end. This generation's 32X, essentially. But at least they have means and time (and leverage) to fix the problem, unlike Sega back in the day.

The S is dead. Now other devs will ask for their pound of flesh.
Todd Howard must be losing his shit right now.

If you're buying an xbox product you're signing up to get shitted on by microsoft so this should have been well within expectations already. i mean this is the group of people who haven't gotten a decent first party AAA game in like 7 years and line up with the "please sir, may I have another" act
I wonder if this opens up for a lawsuit as Xbox said there would be parity between both Xboxes?
Did they not advertise the Series S as having full feature parity with Series X? How do they not get sued.
Anything to stop Playstation from having an exclusive I guess

I love split screen but really who uses it for a game like Buldars Gate? They should of cancelled it before tbh
