Baldur's Gate 3 tragedy on Xbox! I made posts on save leaks in Baldur's Gate 3, and finally, it's time to talk about my experience. The game's release on Xbox was delayed, and save leaks were a big disappointment. Larian Studios and Microsoft are to blame for not fixing it sooner. My advice: wait for the fix before diving in. Goodbye and good luck!

I made several posts about save leaks in Baldur's Gate 3, even dedicating a stream to it. But now it's time to make a proper video because this topic is intriguing and important. In this video, I'll share my experience with saves slipping twice, what helped me, and also touch upon the game itself.
Issues on Xbox 🕹️
Some issues with Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 arose even before its release – not just on Xbox. This included problems with the split-screen function on the Xbox Series S. This led to some confusion among the fan base and the delay in its release on different platforms.
| Affected Platforms | Issues |
|---|---|
| Xbox Series S | Split-screen errors |
| PlayStation 5 | Delayed release |
| Xbox Series X | Simultaneous release with Series S, split-screen issues |
Delayed, But Not Solved 🎮
Despite being one of the highly anticipated games, it was first released on Windows. Then, after a month, it reached the PlayStation 5, followed by Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X releases that came together. Unfortunately, the split-screen issue persisted across all platforms, leading to disappointment among its eager players.
Game Highlights 🏰
Baldur's Gate 3 progresses through different acts, and Act 3 stands out due to the beautifully designed city, loaded with NPCs and quests that captivate the players' interest. It also has a versatile nature, offering various ways to tackle each situation.
A Tale of Sudden Save Loss 📂
Through twists and turns, the game led me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I encountered issues with save files and glitches that had the potential to make me quit the game, and even abandon it wholly. Had it not been for the game backing up my saves, it would have been an entirely different story.
Should You Dive In? 🌊
Despite the game's appeal, I'd suggest refraining from starting a new adventure in Baldur's Gate 3 for now, at least until the potential fix can stabilize the experience. A patch is expected on January 16th, and it would be wise to observe the reactions and fixes of that update before diving in.
In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a compelling game that does suffer from issues. While it might have elements that appear exciting, the technical glitches could greatly impact your enjoyment. So, holding off from starting it would be a prudent decision. Stay safe and enjoy your games with a peace of mind!
