Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 forces custom firmware update on Xbox to fix bugged saves Baldur’s Gate 3Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Xbox save bugs look to finally be at an end thanks to a purpose-built firmware update from Microsoft. 2023\u2019s Game of the Year made a big splash when it was accidentally shadow-dropped after The Game Awards. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 lead Swen Vincke revealed he forgot to mention that the game was launching for Xbox that day. Unfortunately, Xbox players have had to deal with some growing pains since launch. Chief among them was a nasty bug that deleted entire save files, which in a game as massive as Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a big problem. Those playing Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 on Xbox can breathe a sigh of relief as it looks like a fix is finally on the Horizon. Larian Studios took to Twitter to announce that a firmware update is coming to Xbox consoles designed specifically to rectify the issue. \u201cMicrosoft have identified the cause of the save bug on Xbox, and will be issuing a firmware update to fix it!\u201d Larian revealed. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s development team had previously reported they were confident a solution could be found. The studio did qualify that they had not been able to test the update but expressed a great deal of faith in Microsoft. \u201cAlthough we haven\u2019t been able to independently verify this fix, we\u2019re optimistic that Microsoft have gotten to the bottom of it,\u201d Larian said. According to earlier digging from Larian, this particular issue was caused by saves not being properly written to the console\u2019s disk. They offered a workaround involving the company\u2019s cross-save service but this is the first proper solution. \u201cYou\u2019ll be able to update your console manually on the 16th of January, or wait a week longer for the update to roll out globally,\u201d Larian explained. This comes more than a month after the issue was initially reported. Hopefully, this is the end of Xbox players losing their Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 save files and they can enjoy the game properly. Just be extra careful not to record any of the game\u2019s raunchier scenes on the console, Microsoft has been issuing suspensions for that.
