The not-so-great news is that it looks like the Series S version of the game will not include a split-screen co-op mode. This would appear to be an exception to theXbox Series S feature parity clause—something that has been a hot-button issue this console generation.

It is known that the Xbox team and Larian Studios have been working together to bringBaldur’s Gate 3to the platform. After getting its full release on PC following an early access period, the game has been showered with critical acclaim. The PlayStation 5 release will come on September 6.

Many are pointing to this as a missed opportunity for Xbox, and have blamed the more accessible but less powerful Series S for holding back the Xbox launch because of technical limitations. Stay tuned for the official Xbox release date forBaldur’s Gate 3when it becomes available.
