Fear not, Baldur's Gate 3 Xbox players, a firmware update is coming to fix those pesky save issues

Good news, Baldur's Gate 3 players on Xbox who’ve spent the past few weeks living in fear of losing a bunch of progress via the annoying save issue that’s been plaguing the game on that platform - a permanent fix is set to arrive soon in the form of an Xbox firmware update.

For those out of the loop, since Xbox BG3’s Game Awards shadow drop, one of the couple of problems (bans caused by steamy footage have been the other) folks have had to deal with while playing through Larian’s RPG on the platform has involved saves disappearing following crashes. Thankfully, there’s now been a concrete date given for the previously promised fix that should permanently rectify the issue.

“Microsoft have identified the cause of the save bug on Xbox, and will be issuing a firmware update to fix it,” Larian has confirmed via a tweet, revealing: “You'll be able to update your console manually on the 16th of January, or wait a week longer for the update to roll out globally.”
