"Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox Series S: Split-screen is a Must, According to Larian"
Larian Studios, the developer of Baldur's Gate 3, is facing challenges in implementing split-screen co-op on the Xbox Series S due to performance issues. Microsoft wants feature parity across the Series X and S versions, making it difficult for Larian to release one version with split-screen co-op and the other without it. Larian is working on optimizing the game for the Xbox Series S but acknowledges the complexity of simulating multiple characters and actions on one screen. Despite the challenges, Larian considers split-screen co-op a must-have feature and does not want to release the game without it. The PlayStation 5 version of Baldur's Gate 3 is set to release on September 6th, with improvements still being made to the game's performance and UI.
