Originally PC was Aug 29th i think then moved up to Aug 3

PS5 Baldurs Gate 3 was announced for 9.6  (Starfield launch day)

but Xbox versions were not given a date as they were working out issues with the Split screen on the Series S.   and had decided to turn focus to launch.

But now after meeting with head of Xbox they are dropping split screen from the Series S version which will allow them to get it released this year on the Xbox platform.

Just happy ill get to play it...   now i wonder how far ill be into starfield by this point lol   (after starfield by buying for 2023 was done unless  BG3 hits and it looks like it will)     i will be set well into 2024 now

It should also be noted that the PS5 release date was also the original PC release date for PC and PS5.  The PC version was moved UP so as to not compete with Starfield.  Obviously the PC version was and has been ready to go, though they did have a significant patch, but I haven't heard many complaints about it.  They XBOX version hadn't gotten a release date due to the split screen issues on the S as mentioned by Xeno.  I like their solution to the problem (F it - the S folks can do without for now - lol)
