"Baldur's Gate 3: No Xbox Game Pass Availability, Developer Confirms"
Larian, the developer of Baldur's Gate 3, has confirmed that the game will not be available on Xbox Game Pass. Larian's CEO, Swen Vincke, stated that they believe players should pay the full price for the game, as it does not have microtransactions and helps fund their future projects. While Microsoft has been launching high-profile games on Game Pass, third-party games like Baldur's Gate 3 may not find it financially beneficial to join the service, as they would potentially lose out on sales revenue. The debate around Xbox Game Pass and its profitability continues, with Microsoft not disclosing subscription numbers for close to two years.
