Baldur’s Gate 3 Split-Screen is finally coming to Xbox Series S

Larian Studios had a bit of a struggle getting the highly popular Baldur’s Gate 3 to launch on Xbox due to parity requirements regarding the lower-powered Series S being unable to run the game in split-screen. As a result of the game’s overwhelming popularity, Microsoft made an exception, letting them finally launch on Xbox – albeit without split-screen functionality on Series S. Finally, over a year after its Xbox Series S debut, Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting Split-Screen support.

The stress test for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3 has now gone live, letting those who registered to try out its upcoming features early.

Alongside the likes of crossplay, 12 new subclasses and more, the long awaited Xbox Series S split-screen update is now available, with the team writing:

Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox Series S

“Wanting to play multiplayer a little closer to home? Patch 8 will also bring split-screen to Xbox Series S consoles! If you’re joining the stress test from an Xbox, you’ll be able to try this out early. Register For The Patch 8 Stress Test.”

While Larian didn’t share any details on what compromises were made to get split-screen running on Series S, it won’t be long until players make their own side-by-side comparisons – and so hopefully we’ll learn more about the optimisations soon enough.
