Baldur's Gate 3 Split-Screen on Xbox Series S still possible

Split-Screen Multiplayer Still a Possibility for the Xbox Series S Version of Baldur’s Gate 3!

The Xbox Series S version of Baldur’s Gate 3 might just have a surprise up its sleeve – a split-screen multiplayer mode! In a recent announcement, Microsoft confirmed that they are exploring the option to bring this highly requested feature to the game. Talk about giving players more bang for their buck!

When the Xbox systems were first unveiled, many believed that the affordable Xbox Series S could be the ace up Microsoft’s sleeve. With its impressive $299 price tag and promises of gameplay feature parity with the pricier Series X, it seemed like a no-brainer. However, the recent exception made for Baldur’s Gate 3 raised eyebrows and sparked speculation that the Series S could be left in the dust.

But fear not, Xbox Series S owners! Microsoft has heard your concerns and is determined to address them. They have reassured fans that split-screen multiplayer is still a possibility for Baldur’s Gate 3 on the Series S. Microsoft is committed to working closely with Larian Studios, the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3, to explore ways to make this happen. This news confirms that the exception made for Baldur’s Gate 3 was simply a means to bring this highly anticipated game to Xbox consoles as soon as possible, rather than a shift in developer policy.

However, it’s worth noting that even if split-screen multiplayer does make its way into the Xbox Series S port of Baldur’s Gate 3, the fact that it was absent on launch day sets a significant precedent. Microsoft’s decision to prioritize the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 may set the stage for other game developers to request similar exceptions when porting their games to the Xbox Series S. Who knows what other surprises await?

On the bright side, Microsoft’s willingness to go above and beyond to bring Baldur’s Gate 3 to Xbox players has won them the loyalty of one of the most revered developers in the industry. Larian Studios, despite facing challenges in bringing their game to the Series S, has stood by Microsoft, stating that the console does not hold back gaming. Now that’s devotion!

If you can’t contain your excitement and must dive into the world of Baldur’s Gate 3 right away, fear not – the game is available now on PC. Plus, mark your calendars because the PS5 version drops on September 6th, and an Xbox Series X/S version is also in the works. So, get ready to embark on an epic adventure that will have you hooked from start to finish!
