Larian Studios is making headway with the Xbox Series S version of Baldur’s Gate 3 .

According to the studio’s founder and CEO, Swen Vincke, there is still some work left to do on the game for Series S, but it’s getting “very close.”

“Got a nice present from our engineers,” said Vincke on X . “Ensuring memory is well under control and having buffer for peaks was the main thing holding us back. I think this will benefit all platforms too. Still some work left but very close now.”

As mentioned previously, the Xbox delay was due to issues getting split-screen co-op to work on Series S. Because Microsoft requires parity between the Series X and Series S, Larian was unable to provide a release date for the Xbox version until split-screen worked on Series S.

However, Microsoft worked with Larian on the issue, and now BG3 can be released on Xbox Series X when ready, but Series S will not feature split-screen co-op, as reported in August.

“All improvements will be there, with split-screen co-op on Series X. Series S will not feature split-screen co-op, but will also include cross-save progression between Steam and Xbox Series,” said Vincke at the time .

Baldur’s Gate 3 was released on August 3 for PC and is coming to PS5 on September 6. A release date for Xbox Series X/S has yet to be shared.
