One of the main hits of 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 is annoying players on Xbox Series X|S because of a bug that has caused many to lose their saves. The bug has not yet been resolved, but Larian Studios reached out to X (formerly Twitter) to educate players, offering an alternative to this annoying error.
Larian states that the loss of saves is due to a firmware problem and that the game and Microsoft teams are trying to resolve the case, but they have less workforce during this recess period.
We’re aware that there is a save issue on Xbox that continues to linger throughout the holidays. It occurs when exiting the game after saving. The game thinks the save was successful but due to a firmware issue, the save file is not fully committed to disk yet.

However, the producer offered a step-by-step guide on how to automatically upload backups of the last 5 saves to the company’s servers:
- Create a Larian account at
- Go to the options menu in the main menu. In-game, enable cross-save by linking your Larian and Xbox accounts.
- From now on, your last 5 saves will be automatically uploaded to Larian servers. It is important that you do not exit the game before the upload is complete. The upload ends when the “Synchronizing cloud save” message is no longer visible.
- If the firmware bug occurs, you will need to re-enable the cross-save functionality from the options screen. This will give you access to saved games that have been successfully loaded.
Larian added that it plans to allow even more game saves to be uploaded to its servers in the near future.
The X post ended with Larian stating that he understands that losing these game saves in Baldur’s Gate 3 “is frustrating and unacceptable” and said he will fix this bug “as soon as possible”.
