Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox Release Date: Is It Coming to Game Pass?

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the highly anticipated sequel in the Baldur’s Gate franchise, with PC and PS5 players having a blast. With so much hype around the release, here is everything we know about Baldur’s Gate 3 coming to PC and Xbox Game Pass.

Will Baldur’s Gate 3 Come to Xbox & PC Game Pass?

As of Larian Studios’ latest update, Baldur’s Gate 3 is out now for Xbox Series X|S as of December 7, 2023. This came to the surprise of fans directly following The Game Awards 2023, although it’s doubtful we’ll see a Game Pass release anytime soon.

With the controversial information that’s emerged about Microsoft not wanting to pay $5 million to add the game to the service, despite other games like Mortal Kombat 1 or Star Wars Jedi: Survivor costing anywhere from $250 to $300 million. Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently available on PC and PlayStation 5 as of September 6th, 2023.

That said, the third entry may come to Game Pass further down the road as Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 are rumored to be coming to the popular subscription service. So all we can do is be patient until that time comes if it ever does.

As for those who have a PC, you can purchase the full version of the game on Steam for $59.99. This is a great price, considering games as massive as Baldur’s Gate 3 usually run for the standard price of $69.99. If not for having upgraded my PC rig recently, I’d have likely had to buy the PS5 version, but with an Xbox port on the way, I’ll get to enjoy it on my Series X for a more comfortable experience.
