Is Baldur's Gate 3 Cross-Platform?
Baldur's Gate 3 does not support cross-platform play. Fans will not be able to play with their friends on other platforms despite the game eventually releasing on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. There is cross-platform progression, though, so players can save their progress even as they switch between platforms.
Baldur's Gate 3 comes out on Aug. 3 for PC and Sept. 6 on PS5. Although there is no slated date for an Xbox Series X|S release just yet, the developers confirmed the game will eventually make its way to Xbox following its releases on PC and PS5.
