Xbox Series X\/S fans had to wait a while before they could play Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, as PC and PS5 players had access to the game over the summer, while the Xbox port was announced after The Game Awards, finally launching in December 2023. Unfortunately for the Xbox Series X\/S owners of the world, their port of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was riddled with save issues. Many fans reported their save data being deleted, which is extremely worrying for a game that can easily last over 100 hours for a single playthrough. The holiday season ended with no resolution for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s save issues on Xbox Series X\/S. Luckily, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has offered their own solution, though it requires a bit of messing around to get running. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 devs explain how to fix Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Xbox Series X\/S save issues In a post on the official Larian Studios Twitter\/X channel, the developers addressed the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 save issues that keep occurring on Xbox Series X\/S. It\u2019s possible to get around this by activating cross-platform saves in-game. To use this method, you need to create an account on Larian\u2019s website, then in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, go to the Options setting in the main menu. Go to the Gameplay tab and select \u201ccross-saves\u201d, while linking your Larian and Xbox accounts. From this point on, your 5 most recent saves will be uploaded to Larian\u2019s servers via cloud saving. If the bug occurs again, you will need to reactivate the cross-save functionality in Baldur\u2019s Bate 3, giving you access to the most recent saves that were uploaded. It\u2019s frustrating that this method is even necessary, but at least it offers one way around the save deletion issue. As mentioned, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a mammoth game with some difficult boss battles, so a way to keep your saves safe is welcome, at least for now. It\u2019s unclear when Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s save issues will be fixed on Xbox Series X\/S, but Larian is confident that it won\u2019t take long. For the time being, fans will need to rely on Larian\u2019s servers and cloud saves to ensure that their save file is banished to the Nine Hells.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 devs explain how to fix Xbox deleting saves as players lose progress Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s developers announced a temporary workaround for the memory issues on Xbox Series X\/S, allowing players to keep their saves.
