Larian Studios has confirmed that Baldur's Gate 3 will be launching on Xbox Series X|S consoles this year.
Following a meeting with Xbox head Phil Spencer, Larian CEO Swen Vincke made the announcement on social media.
"We've found a solution that allows us to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Xbox players this year still, something we've been working towards for quite some time," said Vincke.
"All improvements will be there, with split-screen coop on Series X."
