Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox pre-order guide

Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available on PC and PS5, and it’s one of the most popular games of 2023. Developer Larian Studios confirmed that it’s coming to Xbox Series X and S consoles later this year as well, but it hasn’t shared an exact release date yet.

One important detail to know is that the Series S version won’t include the couch co-op mode present in the Series X version. This is a controversial break from convention (normally games have feature-parity across Xbox consoles) that Microsoft will allow in order to get this popular game on its platform.

The information below will be updated once purchase info becomes available for the Xbox version of Baldur’s Gate 3.

Where to buy Baldur’s Gate 3

On PC and Mac, you can buy the base version of Baldur’s Gate 3 from Steam and GOG (Good Old Games) for $59.99. Buying the game on GOG will get you a DRM-free version, allowing you to run the game on your computer sans launcher.
