Baldur's Gate 3 has been available digitally on PC and PlayStation 5 since August and September, respectively, with Larian Studios working on the Xbox edition of the game ever since the team found a solution with Microsoft to drop split-screen co-op from the Xbox Series S version. Xbox Series S players can still enjoy multiplayer and cross-progression online, while split-screen co-op is still included on the Xbox Series X version.

The Xbox Series X|S digital versions still don't have an official release date, but Larian Studios is confident it'll arrive before the end of the year, with the team telling Xbox fans to watch The Game Awards 2023 for news.

Analysis: Cool for collectors

If you're big on physical versions of games, you'll want to jump on this. It's a pretty nice offering, though I will say the omission of a steelbook is notable. Baldur's Gate 3 is heavily nominated across The Game Awards 2023, and it's easy to understand why, with the choices, cast, and setting combining for an amazing experience.
