Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has said Microsoft plans to release a firmware update to fix the pesky save bug that has plagued the game’s release on Xbox.
In a tweet, Larian said Microsoft had identified the cause of the save bug on Xbox and will issue a firmware update to fix it. Users can update their console manually on January 16 or wait a week longer for the update to roll out globally, Larian added.
“Although we haven’t been able to independently verify this fix, we’re optimistic that Microsoft have gotten to the bottom of it,” the developer said.
Larian boss Swen Vincke had tweeted to say Microsoft had “found the firmware issue that cause save games to go missing” and that a fix was coming out. “In the end, all will be well.”
Xbox players of Baldur’s Gate 3 will be hoping this firmware update will mark the end of the game’s troubles on the console, although of course Larian will continue to update the game across all platforms. Just this week Larian released a beefy hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3 that makes quest items more accessible.
It’s not all fun and games when it comes to Baldur’s Gate 3, though. Also this week, Xbox users criticised Microsoft for its policy of having auto-upload of captured content on by default, after some Baldur’s Gate 3 players were banned when captured sex scenes were automatically uploaded to the Xbox network.
Despite these issues, Baldur’s Gate 3 has enjoyed critical and commercial acclaim since its launch last year. Updates continue, and Vincke is already teasing the studio’s next game.

A new update for the PC Game Pass and Xbox versions of Palworld has fixed some of its many, many known issues today, but those hoping for some fixes to its online multiplayer options will sadly have to wait a little longer. Currently, those playing on Game Pass still don't have the ability to join or create dedicated servers for up to 32-player multiplayer like their mates on Steam can. Instead, they remain limited to just 2-4-player co-op via the use of friend codes, meaning that Game Pass players aren't having quite the same experience as their Steam counterparts.
Pocketpair’s Palworld is doing very well, ranking third in Steam’s all-time peak concurrent player records and selling over five million copies in three days. However, those playing on Xbox Series X/S have noticed significant differences from the Steam version. As pointed out by Windows Central, you can’t name your character or rename pals, the crafting is slower and more.
Palworld is a bit different on Xbox compared to Steam in part because of Microsoft's certification process.
