Larian founder hints that Baldur’s Gate 3 will release on Xbox too

Last night during Sony's State of Play stream, Larian Studios made a surprise appearance with a new trailer for Baldur's Gate 3, confirming that the game will release on PlayStation later this year. While no Xbox version has been confirmed yet, Larian founder, Swen Vincke, seems to be hinting that the game will head to other consoles too. 

Larian typically hasn't engaged with console exclusives and its other major RPGs, like Divinity: Original Sin, have released across all major platforms. Following on from last night's PlayStation announcement for Baldur's Gate 3, it looked like that might be changing, but according to Larian's Swen Vincke, the studio isn't “playing the exclusivity game”.

The message harkens back to an earlier statement from Larian Studios. When Baldur's Gate 3 was first announced years ago, Vincke told IGN that Larian would not “participate in the exclusivity game” after bringing Baldur's Gate 3 to Stadia. Funnily enough, Stadia, Google's ill-fated cloud gaming service, shut down last month before Baldur's Gate 3 could leave early access.

Baldur's Gate 3 is currently due to release in August 2023.

KitGuru Says: We still don't know if Baldur's Gate 3 will release on Xbox at the same time as PlayStation and PC, but it sounds like the game will be heading to non-PlayStation consoles too, even if it does take a little longer.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
