Announced right after The Game Awards, Larian revealed that Baldur’s Gate 3 will be available on Xbox Series X/S right now. This date was announced alongside a new accolades trailer for the game that gives a broad look at its story, gameplay, and RPG systems while also boasting about its previous acclaim from critics and fans alike. If you’d like to get a look at this new Baldur’s Gate 3 trailer, you can find it attached for yourself below.
Even though it has taken longer for Baldur’s Gate 3 to release on Xbox compared to other platforms, the version of the game that is hitting the console is far more comprehensive out of the gate. Roughly one week ago, Larian let loose Patch 5 for Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5 and PC that notably added new epilogue content to the game. Although BG3 will continue to receive new updates moving forward, this latest patch is one of the last major ones that Larian plans to release and has been dubbed a “final goodbye” to the game.
Outside of announcing this Xbox launch date at The Game Awards, there’s a good chance that Baldur’s Gate 3 will be one of the biggest winners of the night at the annualized awards show. In total, BG3 was up for eight accolades at The Game Awards, which is tied with Alan Wake 2 for the most of any game released in 2023. It also happens to be up for the biggest award of the event, Game of the Year, where it won that title while being up againstThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Alan Wake 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Resident Evil 4.
