Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix 21 is live on all platforms except Xbox, fixing the ability to seamlessly transfer items between your companions whenever you want.
Arguably one of Baldur's Gate 3's best post-launch changes was the ability to transfer items to whoever you wanted, whenever you wanted.

There's also a crash fix that would come about when transferring between speaking to Dame Aylin and Shadowheart's dream about her childhood, which is handy.
According to the tweet from Larian below, though, hotfix 20 and 21 aren't yet available on Xbox Series X. Apparently both hotfixes
