The acclaimed RPG is finally nearing its Xbox Series X/S release. Here's what you should know before gathering your party.
Larian Studios' acclaimed role-playing game has seen impressive completion numbers since exiting early access in August.
The playable Epilogue features 3,589 lines of new dialogue, cinematics and "some of the most complex writing in the game so far."
Approximately 130 GB of free space is needed, failing which players must uninstall the game and redownload the patched version.
The install size of the digital Xbox Series X/S version is also unknown, but Larian's Michael Douse will update players later.
A change in Patch 4 preventing immediate detection in a specific location caused severe slowdown issues, but a fix is inbound.
Michael Douse, Director of Publishing, is also unsure which patch is on the disc but assured it would at least be the latest.
Premium subscribers can play a two-hour trial for the acclaimed RPG on PS5 - just enough time to make the perfect character.
A blocker occurring after a Long Rest, a flashback teleporting the Dark Urge to the Lower City, and more have also been fixed.
A release date announcement for the Xbox Series X/S version and a possible physical release in the West could be inbound.
Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke also spoke about making the game "as approachable as possible" without any compromises.
It also allows dismissing dead avatars to Withers' Wardrobe, lets Scratch fetch "pretty much everything", and refines Speak with Dead.
The acclaimed role-playing game is available now for PS5 and PC, but a release date for Xbox Series X/S is still unconfirmed.
According to Sony's recent charts, Larian Studios' acclaimed RPG had strong digital sales for PS5 in North America and Europe.
You can now customize the appearance of your Hirelings and change your character's name using the newly added Magic Mirror.
Other issues, like multiplayer crashes, visual problems with fog, invalid save game creation, and more, are also resolved.
Improvements to Lower City performance in Act 3 are also available on PC and PS5, but Larian Studios promises "more to come."
The Magic Mirror resides in the player's Camp and allows for changing appearance, voice and pronouns, but not body type and race.
The patch is expected to include more bug fixes and further performance improvements to Act 3, with more details still to come.
Gale, Astarion, Karlach and Shadowheart finally arrive at Baldur's Gate but must contend with themselves and Quality Assurance.
