Just a few weeks ago, Larian Studios has mentioned how the Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox version release date will be announced at The Game Awards. Well, the show is over, and not only did we get a date, but the studio has shadow dropped the RPG, as it’s available now!
This was announced on Twitter (X), just when the show ended:
Xbox players, it’s party time.

It’s quite a special day for Larian Studios, as Baldur’s Gate 3 not only is out on Xbox Series X|S today, but the RPG managed to fend off big games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and more to be The Game Awards 2023’s Game of the Year winner!
BG3 snagged a total of six awards for the night, which is no small feat!
What a night. Thank you to everyone who voted in #TheGameAwards.

Lastly, the studio also released hotfix 13 for the game, which you can read about here.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is one special game indeed. For those who own an Xbox thinking of getting the game, go read our review where we state, “If you can only purchase a single game for a couple of years because budget is tight, Baldur’s Gate 3 should be the one. The amount of content and the sheer quality in display almost makes it feel like a steal, a game that grows on you and eats the hours away, invading your dreams and making you count the time until you return to it. This is the game of the year, maybe more than that.”
Congrats, Larian, to a well-deserved win!
