Coordinating A Multiplayer Baldur's Gate 3 Game Feels A Lot Like Real Life D&D

For those Xbox players who have been waiting on a release for Baldur’s Gate 3 , Larian Studios and Microsoft have finally reached a solution that will allow a 2023 release. 

The hype around Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) and its success is drawing players across the globe to the game. Many players are concerned if they will enjoy the game if they do not have any experience with Dungeons and Dragons or Baldur’s Gate games. But if you want to dive into the game with a little more context about what happened in the previous Baldur’s Gate games, we are here to help. 

Though it seemed for a while that Baldur’s Gate 3 might not be able to hit Xbox Series X/S util next year, Larian Studios recently confirmed that the acclaimed RPG will indeed be coming to Xbox in 2023, with splitscreen co-op not supported on Xbox Series S. The studio also confirmed that the game’s Xbox version will support cross-saves with PC, though Larian Studios’ director of publishing Michael Douse has since then clarified that that won’t be all.

Since its full launch for PC a little under a month ago, Baldur’s Gate 3 has received a number of hotfixes that have added some post-launch polish to the massive RPG. Now, its first full patch has also been released- and as many had expected, it’s a big one.

Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke has announced that Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to Xbox Series X/S in 2023. Available for PC and coming to PS5 on September 6th, the critically acclaimed RPG was delayed on Microsoft’s consoles due to issues with split-screen co-op on Xbox Series S.

Larian Studios will release Baldur’s Gate III for Xbox Series in 2023, the developer confirmed.

Baldur's Gate III is prepared to receive its first patch and by the looks of it, it seems like a huge one. Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke confirmed a roadmap on Twitter, promising to fix issues and make relevant tweaks to ability balances, based on user suggestions. First up, is hotfix #4, which would make some emergency fixes to crashes and progressions blocks, in addition to any bugs that hinder the general interface. That will be followed by the massive patch, boasting over 1,000 fixes, followed by patch 2, which will ‘incorporate some requests.' It's unclear what those requests could be, but we already know that the team is planning an update that would let players change their character's appearance mid-game.

Minthara is a possible party member that you can recruit in Baldur’s Gate 3. But depending on your choices, the route to getting on your side can change drastically. In our case, we’ll be tackling how you can recruit Minthara if you’ve decided to take the evil path through the game. And if Minthara has ended up in the jails of Moonrise Towers, this is your one opportunity to recruit her while you can. So, let’s save Minthara from the Moonrise Towers in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Larian Studios has released its third major hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3, addressing over 200 bugs. Along with the Blue Behir Dice being available for all players permanently, Scratch’s ability to search for digging spots has improved. He’ll do so automatically and won’t require constant direction.

A studio that handled Baldur’s Gate III translations has apologized after outsourced workers were omitted from the game’s credits. "We take full responsibility for this omission of our freelancers' names and apologize for the effects that it had," Altagram Group founder and CEO Marie Amigues said in a statement. "We would like to thank Larian for allowing us to quickly fix that error and update the credits section. The names of the Brazilian Portuguese translators will be included in an upcoming patch to the game."

Larian Studios has released two hotfixes for Baldur’s Gate 3, its acclaimed Dungeons and Dragons RPG. A recent minor hotfix restored cross-platform saves ahead of the PS5 version’s launch, which the team is focused on, but will all these improvements reflect in the console version?

Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 may have received significant acclaim from fans and critics, but it does have some issues. The developer has addressed the same in two hotfixes and is working on Patch 1 (which will add credits for the Brazilian Portuguese localization team).
