Baldur’s Gate 3 changes release dates on PC and PS5, but Xbox remains unscheduled

Update (06/30/2023) – GS

In December of last year, Larian Studios confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 3 would officially launch on Xbox and PS5 on August 31st, but this week, the developer revealed some changes.

While the PC version was brought forward by a few days, the PS5 version had to be delayed by a few days, but it’s nothing too dramatic.

PC: August 3rd PS5: September 6th

The studio explains that the delay on PS5 is explained, as the game “is aiming at 60 FPS and we are very close to reaching the goal, but we need a little more time. We do not want to compromise on quality and we feel that it would be a shame to drop at 30 FPS or make other cuts to meet an arbitrary deadline.”

To complete, the announcement also came with an update on the Xbox Series versions. Previously, the studio revealed that there is no exclusivity agreement to release it only on PlayStation, being a matter of difficulties with Microsoft’s hardware.

We’re bullish on Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox Series X, but in order to announce and release the game on Xbox, we need to make sure it works without compromising the entire Xbox Series X|S ecosystem, in multiplayer and split-screen. We have already made a lot of progress in this regard and will continue to do so. As with PS5, we’ll release it when it’s ready. We’ll update it as soon as we can.

As you can see, the villain of history is the Xbox Series S, which, according to previous reports, has caused headaches for studios trying to find a way to optimize games on that platform.

So, ready for the release of Baldur’s Gate 3?

Update (11/11/2022) – GS

Announced during E3 2019, Baldur’s Gate 3 is already one of the most anticipated games by fans and although everything indicates that the title will hit stores in 2023so far we have not had confirmation of the official release date.

This week, developer Larian Studios revealed Patch 9 of the game, which will be available to those who are testing the game in early access on Steam, should follow more details about the game’s arrival in stores, in addition to implementing a series of new features. .

According to the developer, although Early Access only offers access to Act 1, Acts 2 and 3 are already in the testing phase. In addition, the company promises that the areas already available will be enriched and bring a series of new features when the final version of the game arrives.

Our goal is that even players who have replayed Act 1 for hundreds of hours will feel that there is a new experience waiting for them at launch,

Initially, the game was scheduled to hit stores in 2022, but the coronavirus pandemic ended up causing it to be postponed.

Considering that the release date will be revealed in December, it’s possible that we will have more news about the game being released during The Game Awards ceremony.

Baldur’s Gate 3: New video confirms release in 2023

A new video from developer Larian Studios, released as part of the D&D Direct event last Thursday (21), confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 3 will indeed be released in 2023.

Rumors had already suggested that the game would stay for next yearbut now the company has made an official announcement.

The video does not bring so much news about the game, but it shows “the journey here”, since the game was announced in mid-2019. In addition to a joke with people in cosplay, something already usual in previous promotional videos for the game, you can see the progress of the game, especially in terms of improved graphics during these years.

At the end, the protagonist of the video highlights:

“There’s more where that came from. So join us in early access on our journey to Baldur’s Gate 3, or come along in 2023 when the game launches.”

This confirmation, in the end, should disappoint fans who were rooting for the game to arrive earlier, still in this 2022, but perhaps it is the best option, considering that the game must still undergo several improvements —and that even early access has been postponed to some loose ends to be fixed.

Revealed during E3 2019, Baldur’s Gat 3 is one of the most anticipated games for RPG fans. Although little is known about the title so far, the saga’s successful track record is enough to make players anxious.

So far, the game has been available in early access for a long time, but it looks like the official release window has finally been set.

In a new conversation with Eurogamer, the game’s creative director at Larian Studios, Swen Vincke, said that the game will likely remain available in early access throughout 2022.

This means that the release of version 1.0 will eventually happen in 2023, if all goes well.

We believe we are in the last year of development. We still think we have a year of development ahead of us, so it’s unlikely that we’ll release this year. Even so, we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We have a pretty solid plan.

Therefore, it remains for fans to hope that the plan goes as the studio wants so that the launch goal in 2023 is met.
