Baldur’s Gates 3 has been a massive success on PC and it looks like the PlayStation 5 version will also be a big hit, but what about Xbox players? The good news is that the game is now confirmed for Series X|S, but with one caveat. The Series S version will not have split screen but will include cross-save with Steam.
Of course Baldur's Gate 3 lets you stack dozens of crates and stand on top of them so you can teleport over the wall of a keep

During a Steam broadcast that I can't for the life of me find an archived copy of, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke and famous dungeon master Matt Mercer demonstrated that, yep, Baldur's Gate 3 is a Larian RPG.
The Divinity: Original Sin RPGs let players exploit physics to, for example, solve every combat encounter by using telekinesis to drop heavy objects on their enemies, and Baldur's Gate 3 is similarly sandboxy. On the stream, clipped by Twitter user Asarge, Mercer builds four impossibly tall stacks of crates and climbs to the highest where he stands teetering above a keep's ramparts.
For a seasoned dnd professional stacking 45 crates to vault over a castles ramparts is an obvious solution#BaldursGate3 pic.twitter.com/6dJcvcF03kAugust 3, 2023
Mercer, who plays Minsc in Baldur's Gate 3, then calmly fires an Arrow of Transposition over the keep's wall, teleporting himself over its natural moat.
Baldur's Gate 3 hasn't been out of early access for long, and it's very big, so I suspect we'll see a lot more physics-based problem solving to come, and other fun ways to exploit high level spells and items.
We're liking the D&D RPG a lot so far, but still have a long way to go before we see its end. I've played over 10 hours in my main save, and still haven't left the first act. I haven't eventried stacking a bunch of crates on top of each other yet.
Mercer's an appropriate Baldur's Gate 3 promo figure: Aside from appearing in the game, he DMs in D&D Twitch streaming outfit Critical Role, which has inarguably played a role in D&D's resurgence of popularity—the last time we caught a glimpse of Twitch channel revenue numbers, we learned that the group was the site's biggest earner.

After becoming an instant hit on Windows when it came out of early access earlier this month, Baldur's Gate III will land on PlayStation 5 and macOS on September 6th. The exact Xbox release date is still unclear, but Larian has finally confirmed the massive RPG will come to Microsoft's consoles later this year.

Baldur's Gate 3 Fans Uncover Cut Areas, Storylines, Romances, And More
Baldur's Gate 3 is a pretty chunky game, with players spending up to over 100 hours just to see everything that the world has to offer.

Thankfully, one committed fan has put it all together for us so we can easily see what could've been.

If you're playing Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer, Larian's boss has advice on what to do with companions: ignore them
It took me a few hours with Baldur's Gate 3 to fully come to a realization that is pretty dang obvious in hindsight—if you're playing in four-player co-op like I am, there's absolutely no room for more companions in your life.
