New Xbox fix for Baldur’s Gate 3 bug, Dev reveals

Baldur's Gate 3 players on Xbox have been facing a persistent save bug, but a resolution is on the horizon with a forthcoming Xbox firmware update, as announced by Larian Studios. The fix for this issue, which caused save games to vanish, is set to be released by Microsoft. Gamers can manually update their consoles starting January 16th or they can wait for the automatic global rollout, which will happen a week later. The news comes amidst other developments, such as Larian's release of a hotfix for the game that improves the accessibility of quest items, and some controversy over Xbox's default feature of auto-uploading captured content which led to player bans due to uploaded in-game adult scenes. Despite these hiccups, Baldur's Gate 3 has received both critical praise and commercial success since its release and updates continue to roll out. Furthermore, excitement is building as Larian's head, Swen Vincke, hints at the studio's next gaming project.
