"Microsoft Engineers Collaborate to Enable Split-Screen Functionality for Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox Series S"

Larian Studios, the developer of Baldur's Gate 3, is facing challenges in getting the split-screen co-op feature to work well on the Xbox Series S, due to Microsoft's policy of enforcing gameplay feature parity across Xbox Series X and S. This has led to a delay in the release of the game on Xbox consoles. Larian has received support from Microsoft's Xbox Advanced Technology Group to resolve the issue. The studio aims to release the game on Xbox Series X and S this year, but there is no guarantee. This situation highlights the potential challenges for developers in optimizing games for the less powerful Xbox Series S.
