Baldur's Gate 3 will, in fact, come to Xbox later this year, developer Larian has confirmed. However, the Series S edition won't be up to par with the Series X version. Studio boss Swen Vincke said on X/Twitter that Larian has «found a solution» to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Xbox players later this year.
Vincke said he met with Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. Together, they found this solution, and it seems to be dropping split-screen support on Series S, at least at launch. Vincke said finding a way to get Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox was «something we've been working towards for quite some time.»

Spencer recently told Eurogamer that people buying the Xbox Series S should not expect all the features and systems that the same game on Series X might have.
