"Baldur's Gate 3: Xbox's Underestimation and Unexpected Credits"

Microsoft underestimated the success of Baldur's Gate 3, which has seen massive popularity since its full launch in August. The game exceeded expectations with over 875,000 concurrent players and continues to attract a large player base. Leaked emails from May 2022 revealed that Microsoft referred to the game as a "second-run Stadia PC RPG" and ranked it low on their list for potential inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. However, the game's success and lack of exclusivity have highlighted Microsoft's oversight. Baldur's Gate 3 is now expected to release on Xbox later this year.
