If this port is even more broken and buggy than the console versions, then that's just sad.

Baldur's Gate 3 is finally coming to Xbox.
Previously, this was delayed indefinitely because Xbox demands feature parity between the Series S and Series X consoles, but Larian could not get split-screen to work properly on the Series S.
Apparently after a conversation with Phil Spencer at Gamescom, Phil has allowed Larian to ditch split-screen on Series S, to allow Larian to launch BG3 on Xbox this year.

Though, this does break Xbox's promise of feature parity between the two consoles, which raises questions as to when or if this will happen again in the future, and under what circumstances.
Presumably you can bend the rules a little, when you are a game of the year contender, and the only thing standing in your way is a feature that only a tiny minority of players will use.

It Could Take 130 Hours To Really Start Starfield, Bethesda Exec Says
Pete Hines says he needed to get past the main quest before Starfield ‘really [got] going’

Excuse me Mr. Hines, these comments make your game sound like shit.
Sterling just talked about this a few months ago with FF16 and other long games that take x amount of hours to get good. I remember back in the early 360 days, where defenders of the first saints row game said it took 5 to 10 hours for it to get good or get started. That's why my brother and I drop the game early on. We weren't having any fun.It Could Take 130 Hours To Really Start Starfield, Bethesda Exec Says

Anyone signing up for this disaster can have "fun" with that. I'll be busy playing shorter and better games.
It’s so weird, because Bethesda games mostly have been great fun from the start. Fallout and Elder Scrolls game had freedom to explore, Doom games let you be a badass as soon as first level starts, and Dishonored/Prey let you be as creative or mundane as you want from the start.It Could Take 130 Hours To Really Start Starfield, Bethesda Exec Says

These “x amount of hours to get good” are usually associated with build-focused games. So I wonder what Pete means?

Core gameplay would popup well well before that mark (I mean, other then in a Kojima game, where you'd still be in the single digits of cutscenes XD), and he literally is burying the main story.
Because who can't spare five and a half days of playtime in order for a game to start getting to the point?It Could Take 130 Hours To Really Start Starfield, Bethesda Exec Says

The company is the first security partner to be added to the Nintendo Developer Portal…
Booo. What if I want to emulate the games I legally purchased and dumped tho? Nintendo hate all emulation tho, so they'll probably be all over this. Only upside is Denuvo charges a recurring subscription fee, so a lot of publishers end up removing Denuvo long term to get out of paying that fee.
Blessed be KonradLeijon
Denuvo doesn't really have anything to do with DMM or importing Japanese games, but sure, whatever.

See, it’s shit like that that makes it justifiable to think that Series S is a joke and not really worth developing for. At this point in the generation just call it a damn streaming/retro/Gamepass cloud gaming machine and be done with it.Baldur's Gate 3 is finally coming to Xbox.
