Baldur's Gate 3 is the frontrunner for the Game of the Year award. Thus, wouldn't it be fitting if it becomes available on Xbox on or before December 7, the schedule for this year's The Game Awards? If we believe the rumors, this is what the developers, Larian Studios, has planned for the award-winning Dungeons and Dragons title.
According to an exclusive report by eXputer, Baldur's Gate 3 will be available to play on Xbox Series S/X on December 6, which comes just days after Larian Studios' CEO, Swen Vincke, reassured fans that it's still in the works.
Naturally, the millions of Xbox owners couldn't help but get excited at the prospect of finally playing one of the year's most talked-about games this year. The expectations for its Xbox release are sky-high following its stellar commercial and critical performance on PC and PS5, where it received critical acclaim for its writing, characters, combat, and overall presentation. Baldur's Gate 3's popularity is so profound that it remains one of the most popular games on Steam and other platforms, raising the bar for RPGs for years to come.
However, a twist in the narrative emerged when Michael Douse, Larian Studios' Director of Publishing, responded with an unequivocal "News to me," casting doubt on the rumored release date. He reiterated the studio's commitment to a polished version of the game, worthy of the Xbox fanbase, and confirmed that while the game is expected to release before the year's end, the date will only be set once the team is fully confident in the release version.
