Baldur's Gate 3 News

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.”

With how downright good Baldur's Gate 3 is, it's only natural that players will be checking out Larian's landmark CRPG Divinity: Original Sin 2 (including our own Ted Litchfield, who has been having a blast)...

Hotfix 16 for Baldur's Gate 3 has arrived, and it brings a pretty beefy bunch of tweaks and revisions as per usual, one of which will be music to the ears of those who’ve had their honour mode runs fall at the dumbest final hurdle possible.

For those who haven’t been grinding their way through the uber-tough difficulty setting added to Larian’s RPG alongside the epilogue by the humongous patch five or reading about others endeavours to do so on Reddit, some players have managed to softlock themselves right at the game’s climax. How, you ask? Well, by accidentally leaving the hammer they need to bring along in order not to get stuck in the Astral Realm back at camp.

Thankfully for these forgetful BG3 masters, one of this latest hotfix’s headline changes answers their prayers. “You will now be able to access certain quest-related items on the spot,” reads one bullet point of the update’s patch notes, “even if they are currently in the camp chest or in the inventory of a companion who is waiting at camp.”
