Xbox save glitch in Baldur's Gate 3, Larian shares fix

The ongoing issue with the save bug on the Xbox Series version of Baldur's Gate 3 remains unresolved. Despite a previous system update aimed at fixing the bug, players continue to experience crashes and loss of save files. To mitigate the issue during the holiday period, which saw a reduced number of Microsoft employees working, Larian Studios suggested a workaround. They advise players to create an account on the developer's website, enable cross-saves in the game's main menu, and link their Larian and Xbox accounts to automatically upload their last five saves to Larian's servers. It's crucial for players not to close the game until the upload is confirmed as complete, indicated by the disappearance of the 'Syncing cloud save' message from the screen. Baldur's Gate 3 has impressively won the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards despite the save issue.

The workaround involves creating an account on Larian Studios' website, enabling cross-saves in the game's main menu, and linking your Larian and Xbox accounts. This ensures that the last five saves are automatically uploaded to Larian's servers, preventing total loss of progress in case of a bug-triggered incident. Make sure not to close the game until the 'Syncing cloud save' message disappears to ensure the upload process is completed.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a role-playing game developed and published by Larian Studios. It is the third main game in the Baldur's Gate series, which is based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG. The game is well-known for its intricate storytelling, deep character customization, and involvement in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Larian Studios' expertise with previous titles like Divinity: Original Sin has proven valuable in creating a next-generation RPG experience with Baldur's Gate 3, which has been highly anticipated since its announcement. Players expect the game to further expand upon the rich lore and engaging gameplay mechanics the series is celebrated for.
