Yeah, the possibility of a PS5 Pro patch has been on my mind as well. I’ll most likely go with the PS5 version.

I thought the XSX version was done...and the issue was the SX version? Now that they are removing the split screen on the SX version then why the holdup? Unless they made a deal with Sony.

They probably halted Xbox development towards the end, due to the Series S parity slowing them down, then focused on the PS5 release.

Baldur's Gate 3 dev shows off the level of optimization achieved for the Xbox Series S port, which bodes well for future PC updates
Larian must have cast a transmutation spell on the code to get these gains.
"The graphs start at the beginning of September, with the game using just over 5.2GB for general game RAM and around 3.5GB for VRAM. By November, though, Larian had shaved this down to 4.7GB and 2.3GB respectively. The RAM reduction is a pretty decent 10% drop but the reduction in VRAM usage is a massive 34%."
I know it's common here to make 10 threads per hour to shit on the Xbox but now, because of the optimization needed for the XSS, Larian found a way to reduce the needs of VRAM by 34% and that reduction will profit to ALL platforms. That is optimization. So as I said since the beginning, BG3 wasn't running on XSS not because that machine isn't powerful enough but because nowadays devs (as talented as they might be) don't spend enough time on optimization.
Weird there wasn't a thread for this right ? I wonder why (no).

Yup, optimisation is key and something that clearly went out the window years ago for a lot of devs.

Game Dev - Platform - Baldur's Gate 3 dev shows off the level of optimization achieved for the Xbox Series S port (34% reduction in VRAM usage & 10% reduction in RAM usage)
Little things can often matter a lot and when it comes to streamlining a game's memory usage, every gigabyte counts. One of the developers at Larian, makers of Baldur's Gate 3, has shown that the team's recent hard work has resulted in a 34% reduction in VRAM usage for the forthcoming Xbox...

Doesn't change that in here there are way too many threads to shit on Xbox.
I'm shitting on them quite often too.A tip, before questioning the impartiality of neogaf because you think an article hasn't been mentioned it's best to search the actual article URL you're about to post. You will get direct mentions of it in any post, including any threads based on it. 'Baulders gate 3 xbox' is far too vague.Fair enough ! I searched but haven't found it.

Still no release date? They’ll need to announce a cheaper price for me too… Or Game Pass. Too late to ask me for full price.

If there's one game that is no doubt worth the asking price it would be BG3.

wrong again, he seriously can’t keep getting away with this!!!In all seriousness, i doubt the game is releasing this year. Already 1/3 thru November and you have huge holidays coming up.

Maybe, but I only really break my ‘no full price’ rule when I get caught up in the hype, and the delay (and the negativity surrounding it) was a complete buzzkill…

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

I mean sure they also can make alot of gen 9 games playable on a gen 8 console but it needs to stay in a reasonable budget and games need to take weaker console into account from the very beginning.
