When Larian Studios delayed the PlayStation 5 version of Baldur’s Gate III, they also confirmed that the Xbox Series S was the culprit for Game of the Year candidates not appearing on Microsoft’s console at the same time. This apparently reignites the conversation regarding the weaker Xbox family holding developers back from truly giving us a “next-gen experience,” and whether Microsoft should stop demanding parity between games on its consoles. It will be interesting to see what people think now. Baldur’s Gate III is coming to the Xbox Series this year, as Larian founder Swen Vincke revealed, as Phil Spencer and his team have agreed to break their parity rules by allowing the game to launch on the Series S without the split-screen option. The Xbox Series X version will include all the improvements made to the PC version, cross-play, and split-screen, while the Series S will have to stick with the previous two versions. This will certainly give hope to the many other developers and publishers who complained regarding the Xbox Series S that Microsoft will make an exception for them too, as the door has been opened for it, so it will be interesting to see what the future brings. Either way, Xbox Series owners will be able to enjoy Baldur’s Gate III later this year. How do you feel regarding this decision? Where should the line be drawn in terms of features missing from the Xbox Series S version of the game?
