The Thrill of Baldur’s Gate 3
The thrill of traversing the realms of popular videogame Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to go several notches higher with the announcement of an upcoming crossplay feature. This strategic move by the game's developers, Larian Studios, will allow gamers on Playstation, Xbox, and PC to compete or team up, bridging the gap between diversely oriented gaming groups.
Recent Updates from Larian Studios
Larian Studios has been in the news lately, sharing exciting updates about Baldur’s Gate 3. Recently, Swen Vincke, the Director, shared his open-mindedness towards a level 13-20 experience and his ongoing work on the next game. As players continue to enjoy the highly-rated game, they can expect to share the unique, once-in-a-decade fantasy Role Playing Game (RPG) experience with friends playing on different consoles soon.
Details on the Crossplay Feature
The intriguing news about the upcoming crossplay feature came from an interview with Eurogamer, wherein Larian’s Director Michael Douse disclosed the team's intentions to implement crossplay. Douse indicated that while the feature was always planned, it wasn’t prep for a launch. Given the complexities involved, the team prefers not to announce a concrete timeline until they're sure it can be fully implemented.
Baldur’s Gate 3 and Consoles
Baldur’s Gate 3 has had a successful run since its release on PC in August and its subsequent September debut on Playstation 5 (PS5). The only delay is the game's introduction to Xbox, mainly due to complications encountered while implementing split-screen mode on the Series S. Although there's no official date for the Xbox release, Larian is aiming to launch the game on the platform in 2023.
The Dream of Crossplay
Once achieved, Larian intends to concentrate on rolling out the crossplay feature. It's also significant that the game’s cross-save feature will allow players who initially played on PC to switch to the console later without losing their progress. Meanwhile, as soon as Larian announces an achievable timeline for the Baldur’s Gate 3 crossplay, it will certainly make the headlines.
