Baldur's Gate 3 On Xbox Is Still Planned For 2023, Says Larian

thegamer.com:

Baldur's Gate 3's Xbox launch is still planned for 2023, Larian's head of publishing confirms. This comes as we approach November and are still without a release date, leading some to speculate that the port has been pushed back into 2024.

However, as just re-confirmed by the head of publishing, Michael Douse, this release window hasn't changed. He says that any word on there being a delay is just from random accounts "talking shit", with no internal change on when Larian plans to launch Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox Series X and S. Still, Larian still isn't saying whether it will be with us in November or December, meaning we'll probably get a pretty last minute announcement when the release is finally ready.

"Before the end of the year is the plan," says Douse, replying to a fan frustrated by the fact that they still can't play Baldur's Gate 3. "This has been said a few times but dudes with 33k twitter followers keep talking shit for likes [sic]."

It's not clear what accounts Douse is referring to here, but given that the original tweet thread was complaining about console warriors, it's likely attached to that. Indeed, Baldur's Gate 3 is still an unintended PS5 console exclusive right now, as it's otherwise only available on PC. Given the RPG's early success, this makes it the perfect pawn in console war debates, as inane as they are.

Despite all this, we should expect Baldur's Gate 3 sometime soon, as we're fast approaching the end of the year already. While it's a little odd to not have a release date already - or at least a more specific release window - Larian might not feel that it's necessary to big up the port so much, given that
