Baldur\u2019s Gate 1 & 2 accidentally announced early for Xbox Game Pass BioWareXbox Game Pass users are receiving notifications announcing the impending arrival of Baldur\u2019s Gate and Baldur\u2019s Gate II: Enhanced Editions on the service. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was one of the biggest games of 2023, earning critical acclaim, achieving commercial success, and sweeping many award shows. Those who have finished their playthroughs of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 or are just waiting for a future sale might be interested in playing the first two entries in the series. After all, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 does feature characters from the original titles, even if they\u2019re in smaller roles this time around. While Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 might not be coming to Xbox Game Pass anytime soon, the same might not be true for the original games, which have received enhanced editions with controller support and updated visuals for modern systems. Baldur\u2019s Gate I & II notifications are being sent to Xbox Game Pass subscribers As reported by True Achievements, people with the Xbox Game Pass app on their phones are receiving notifications telling them that Baldur\u2019s Gate and Baldur\u2019s Gate II: Enhanced Editions are coming to the service. As of the time of writing, the game collection is currently unavailable to download as part of any tier of Game Pass, but the store is currently in the process of adding unannounced titles, including Close to the Sun. The notification was likely sent out early as part of a larger Xbox Game Pass announcement that will be made later today, revealing the new titles that are coming to the service in January. While Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is an incredible game, fans shouldn\u2019t sleep on the original entries in the series. Baldur\u2019s Gate 1 & 2 are also amazing games, and those who can overlook outdated design and gameplay elements will find an amazing journey that equals the one undertaken by Tav. You don\u2019t need to play the old Baldur\u2019s Gate games to enjoy Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, as there is a century of time separating their events, so they don\u2019t directly tie into each other outside of parts of the Dark Urge Background. The Bhaalspawn Saga is an epic unto itself, and if you haven\u2019t played it before, then the Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass versions are the ideal way to experience it for yourself.
