Larian has recently confirmed that upcoming RPG sequel Baldur’s Gate 3 will launch on PC and PS5, but Xbox fans are wondering when their version is coming out.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Release Date Revealed
A statement was released and sent to media outlet Push Square assuring everyone of the studio’s plans for the game’s platforms.
“Right now Larian is planning to release Baldur’s Gate 3 for PC, Mac, GeForce NOW, and PS5,” said the spokesperson. “That said, they don’t have exclusivity and will announce support for additional platforms if and when they’re ready.”
Larian CEO Swen Vincke shared a new post on his Twitter account related to the statement above. “Relax. We still aren’t playing the exclusivity game.”
“The land of Faerûn is under siege by a hostile and otherworldly force known as mind flayers,” said the description of the newest gameplay trailer.
