For nylig dukkede Baldur's Gate III frem via Sonys State of Play, hvor det samtidig blev afsløret at spillet lander på PS5 samme dag som at det exitter Early Access. Men hvad med Xbox-versionen? Ja, den er også på vej, men lander ikke samtidig.
Via en meddelelse sendt til Gamereactor (og andre) har udvikleren Larian dog slået fast, at det ikke skyldes et eksklusivt samarbejde mellem PlayStation og Larian. Faktisk er det en besværligheder med Xbox Series S der har skabt forsinkelsen:
"Following yesterday's PS5 and release date announcement, we've clarified that right now, we're planning to release Baldur's Gate 3 for PC, Mac, GeForce NOW and PS5. That said, we have no exclusivity for which platforms we can bring BG3 to, or when, and will announce support for additional platforms if and when we're ready."
"We're seeing a lot of varied interpretations of what that means, so we wanted to clarify further. We've had an Xbox version of Baldur's Gate 3 in development for some time now. We've run into some technical issues in developing the Xbox port that have stopped us feeling 100% confident in announcing it until we're certain we've found the right solutions - specifically, we've been unable to get splitscreen co-op to work to the same standard on both Xbox Series X and S, which is a requirement for us to ship."
"There's no platform exclusivity preventing us from releasing BG3 on Xbox day and date, should that be a technical possibility. If and when we do announce further platforms, we want to make sure each version lives up to our standards & expectations."
