Is Baldurs Gate 3 (BG3) on Xbox?

Baldur’s Gate 3 took over gaming for 2023, and the game has soared beyond anyone could’ve expected. However, Xbox fans were left out of the initial launch of the game. With BG3 expanding to more platforms, is Xbox one of them?

Can I play Baldurs Gate 3 on Xbox?

Larian Studios was crowned the winner of six awards during the annual festival of gaming, in the form of The Game Awards, including taking home the well-deserved Game of the Year 2023 honor. With the game going above and beyond in every regard, players globally are thrilled that this RPG exists, and we see more and more players express their love for it.

However, for Xbox players, this love has been one-sided since it was released back in August, as the game has not been ported over to the console until now. Right after Baldurs Gate 3 won Game of the Year, they quickly announced on social media that the game is officially out now for Xbox Series consoles worldwide.

This comes a few months after the game was successfully released on PlayStation 5, and there was a period in time when fans had lost hope they’d see the game be playable on Xbox.

Just in time for the 2023 holiday season, the game premiers on the console at full retail price, and there is some question about whether or not we could see a discount in the coming weeks or months. This would go nicely with the recent victories at The Game Awards and would be another way for Larian to boost their already staggering fanbase.

In the meantime, however, we wish all those who are diving into the game for the first time good luck, as the journey is long but one of the best we’ve ever experienced.
