Gamers can look forward to Baldur's Gate 3's immense physical edition for Xbox Series X, which will feature the game's substantial Patch 5 included on a set of three discs. The much-discussed patch, expected to rectify slowdown issues from the previous update, is a significant addition to the physical release, slated for early 2024. Larian Studios hinted at a possible different version for the PlayStation 5 edition, which has yet to be finalized.

Larian Studios is pushing the boundaries of physical game releases with not only the Xbox Series X edition's three discs but also the PlayStation 5 edition's two and a single disc for the PC version complete with a Steam key. This dedication to physical media is seen by the studio as a way forward, reflecting its commitment to providing value and potentially pioneering a new standard for physical editions in the gaming industry.

This Deluxe Edition of Baldur's Gate 3, distinct from a Collector's Edition, comes with additional physical perks such as the original soundtrack, a world map, stickers, patches, and an art poster. The items encapsulate the essence of the game's world, augmenting the tangible connection fans can have with this critically acclaimed RPG.

Exclusively available for preorder on the Larian store, this release comes as Larian Studios celebrates the game's success, evidenced by multiple awards at the Golden Joysticks. The studio is not only expected to announce Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox release date at The Game Awards but also tease their upcoming game.

Baldur's Gate 3 has been praised for its strategic RPG combat, deep story, and rewarding exploration, cementing its status as a benchmark for both commercial and critical success in the gaming community.
