Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has been one of the biggest releases of 2023. The title winning the Game of the Year award and sweeping many other accolades as well. Following the ceremony, it was revealed that the game would be available to play on Xbox, with fans initially excited about the news. However, players of the Xbox release of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 took are sharing their gripes with the buggy version of the console port and demanding refunds. \u201cThe game can\u2019t even save your progress properly,\u201d said the original poster, referring to the problems with the game\u2019s cloud save functionality. \u201cLarian Studios owe us some kind of compensation if not a full refund.\u201d Said another in a now deleted comment. Although, some disagreed with the sentiment, other users didn\u2019t seem to find his statement was unreasonable: \u201casking for a full refund at least isn\u2019t out of line for anyone that\u2019s experienced a lot of problems playing this,\u201d one user pointed out. BG3 is not the first game to suffer from the cloud save issue, players of Starfield and even Football Manager, have been hit with cloud save woes. But BG3 players on Xbox seem to feel like they\u2019ve been given the short end of the stick, and they\u2019re being pretty vocal about it on Twitter too. On top of the bug with cloud saves, the cross-save functionality is also causing players grief, with game crashes a problem unless players unlink their Larian account. With the problem so well known, Xbox users were hoping a recent 11 December patch drop would provide a fix, but the issues still persist. For now, the BG3 developers and Microsoft have offered a work around, and say they\u2019re working on a solution. Xbox players will have to wait to see when that will be as there\u2019s no date on when the fix will arrive yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Furious Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans demand refunds after \u201cunplayable\u201d Xbox release Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans are slamming the Xbox release of the game, claiming it\u2019s unplayable due to issues with its cloud save and other bugs.
