On Thursday, during Sony's latest PlayStation State of Play online event, it was announced that Baldur's Gate 3 is coming to the PlayStation 5 console on August 31, alongside the release of the PC version of the D&D fantasy RPG sequel. Originally published article continues below: If and when we do announce further platforms, we want to make sure each version lives up to our standards & expectations. There’s no platform exclusivity preventing us from releasing BG3 on Xbox day and date, should that be a technical possibility. We don’t like announcing anything until we’re ready, because we don’t want to get peoples hopes up until we’re sure we can deliver. We are still working on an Xbox version of BG3, but we’re not yet confident enough to announce it. We’ve had an Xbox version of Baldur’s Gate 3 in the works for some time, but we have run into some technical issues – particularly with split-screen co-op.

Xbox players, we’ve seen your questions about if/when you can expect Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox.

Thanks for all the hype and enthusiasm following yesterday’s announcement that Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 day and date with PC on August 31st! Unlike its previous statement it does say that there is an Xbox version of the game in the works, but there have been some 'technical issues' with its development. Update: Larian Studios has now posted a message on the Baldur's Gate 3 Reddit page.
