Default Baldur's Gate 3

Larian released a new Accolades trailer for BG3 and the Xbox Series version is now available. Cross-save is supported, cross-play should be available in a future update.

https://www.microsoft.com/store/productid/9nd58lqtg09t

Quote:
Abducted, infected, lost. You are turning into a monster, but as the corruption inside you grows, so does your power. Forge a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, you and your party will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms.

THE ULTIMATE D&D EXPERIENCE
Choose from a wide selection of D&D races and classes, or play as an origin character with a hand-crafted background. Adventure, loot, battle, and romance as you journey through the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Play alone or as a party of up to four in multiplayer – and select your companions carefully.

SEAMLESSLY SWITCH BETWEEN SINGLE AND MULTIPLAYER
Each character weaves their own story, alone or in a party. Combine your forces in combat and split your party to follow your own quests and agendas. Concoct the perfect plan together… or introduce an element of chaos when your friends least expect it. With split-screen co-op for up to two players on one Xbox, or as up to four players online, Baldur's Gate 3 is an adventure made to be played alone, or shared with friends.

NO ADVENTURE WILL BE THE SAME
The Forgotten Realms are a vast, detailed, and diverse world, and there are secrets to be discovered all around you – verticality is a vital part of exploration. Sneak, dip, shove, climb, and jump as you journey from the depths of the Underdark to the glittering rooftops of the Upper City. How you survive, and the mark you leave on the world, is up to you.

A CINEMATIC STORYTELLING EPIC
Forged with the new Divinity 4.0 engine, Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you unprecedented freedom to explore, experiment, and interact with a world that reacts to your choices. A grand, cinematic narrative brings you closer to your characters than ever before, as you venture through our biggest world yet. Romance, deceive, aid, obstruct, and grow alongside your friends thanks to Larian's next-generation RPG engine.

NOTE - Local co-op is currently not supported on Xbox Series S.

There is a thread for the physical Deluxe Edition here:

I saw it won GOTY. I've never played a Baldur's Gate game and I don't think there was a thread for it on PS side so it was never on my radar as a big game. Sounds like it's 100 hours though and I hate that those take me months,

I almost picked this up for PlayStation at launch, but I want to play Alan Wake more. I decided against picking up any big games until I finish Cyberpunk though, so the others will have to wait.

You can probably play both Cyberpunk and AW2 in the time it takes to play this game it sounds like lol.

He should be thankful if it is. Geoff got more screen time and acknowledgment here than cinematic animation lead Jim Southworth did when Swen Vincke tried to mention his passing before Geoff's staff told him to wrap it up.

If anyone here was affected by the save bug, Larian is reporting the fix will be available from Microsoft next week.

Quote:
Microsoft have identified the cause of the save bug on Xbox, and will be issuing a firmware update to fix it!

You'll be able to update your console manually on the 16th of January, or wait a week longer for the update to roll out globally ��

Pretty crazy that Larian wants to charge $20 in shipping fees for shipping physical editions, talk about upcharging

Yeah, I was a little annoyed with the shipping price when I checked out... I justified it in my head considering the extreme value of the game itself and how competitively priced it is as a deluxe edition, but still. Hopefully its very well packaged for $20.

Quote:
Larian director of publishing Michael Douse tweeted about the situation on March 1, saying that while things could change, there’s a non-zero chance the Xbox version will take up four discs. In a statement to Kotaku via DM, Douse said, “It’s definitely going to be at least three, but might be four, which is a problem. But a fun problem.”

“The plan is for it to be fully playable on disc, so that’s the reality we find ourselves in,” he said. “Silly us!”

is going to take more discs for the Xbox than the PlayStation 5, which will install across two discs.

We knew it would be at least three disc from the promotion photo. I wonder how much over 150GB the final/shipping version will be?

On one hand, it’s a bit of nostalgia to swap discs during gameplay, on the other hand it’s one of the few downsides of Smart Delivery.

From IGN

Quote:
Larian Studios isn't planning to release expansions/DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 or Baldur's Gate 4. "Larian plans to move away from Dungeons & Dragons entirely and do something new, leaving the IP in Wizards of the Coast's hands."

Nice they got it sorted out, though I have to admit there hasn't been any "couch co-op" around here since Halo...
