Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 dev responds to speculation that PS5 port is in \u201ctrouble\u201d Larian StudiosLarian Studios\u2019 Director of Publishing pushed back on a gamer comparing preload dates for Starfield and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 on PlayStation 5. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is set to release on PlayStation 5 on September 6, the same day Starfield finally comes to PC and Xbox Series X|S. This has led some fans to compare the games, especially Xbox players disappointed that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 isn\u2019t releasing on the platform anytime soon due to development issues with the Series S. One Xbox fan, who tried to use the two games\u2019 preload dates to claim Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was in trouble, prompted a response from a Larian Studios executive, who provided a good reason for waiting to push out a game. Fans have to wait longer for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 PS5 preload date for \u201cconsumer friendly\u201d reasons The conversation started when Twitter user astaranx pointed out that Starfield is available to preload on Xbox, while Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s PS5 preload date isn\u2019t until August 31. The user drew two conclusions from this: Starfield is \u201cmore ready\u201d for its release next month, and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s PS5 port must be running into some issues. Larian Studios\u2019 director of publishing Michael Douse disputed this with a simple explanation. Because Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is out on PC and already receiving updates, the developers chose to start preloads closer to the game\u2019s early access launch to ensure PS5 players get the most up-to-date version. In the weeks since its release, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has received four Hotfixes that improve the game\u2019s performance, make balancing changes, fix issues that caused it to crash, and more. Two larger patches are in the works and are set to make more tweaks and incorporate player requests. Larian has promised patch parity between different versions of the game to ensure fans have an equal experience regardless of where they are playing. This means having to wait longer to preload Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 on PS5 is not a sign of development troubles, but a necessity to help ensure the port\u2019s launch goes smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
