Those eagerly awaiting Baldur's Gate 3's arrival on Xbox won't have to wait much longer. Developer Larian Studios has stated the game is on track to release in December.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Larian Studios announced the release window, adding that an exact release date will come at The Game Awards on December 7. Larian CEO Swen Vincke in his own post stated the studio wanted to "beat winter" in regards to the game's Xbox launch.

Baldur's Gate 3 released in full on PC and PlayStation 5 earlier this year after years of early access, but initially didn't release on Xbox. That was due to Larian being unable to get the game's split-screen co-op, which it called "essential," working to its satisfaction on Xbox Series S consoles. A compromise was reached after Larian met with Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer in order to bring the critically acclaimed RPG to Xbox, a compromise that resulted in Larian dropping split-screen co-op for Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox Series S consoles, at least at launch. The developer has stated split-screen co-op could be added to the Series S version in the future.
