Larian Studios is making significant optimization improvements to the Xbox Series S version of Baldur's Gate 3. The game's CEO, Swen Vincke, recently shared screenshots indicating the efforts to reduce RAM and VRAM usage, with current figures showing around 2.3GB for VRAM and 4.7GB for RAM.

These optimizations suggest that the Xbox Series S, which is the less powerful console compared to the PS5 and PC, will deliver a satisfactory performance. Given the issues present in the higher-spec versions, particularly in Act 3 of the game, these advancements are promising for the upcoming port's quality on the Series S.

There has been controversy regarding the Xbox Series S version not offering two-player split-screen co-op, a feature that may be added post-launch. Overall, Baldur's Gate 3 has been praised for its engaging tactical RPG mechanics, intricate storytelling, memorable characters, and the rewarding exploration of its world.

Baldur's Gate 3 is available across various platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Macintosh, PC, and Stadia. Larian Studios continues to release patches to improve performance, with the recent Patch 4 bringing enhancements in crowded gameplay areas.
