Support NeoGAF

Confirmation comes from Larian's director of publishing, Michael Douse, who told me the studio always intended to do cross-play but it was one thing too many to get working for launch. The PS5 version comes out today, remember; the PC version came out at the beginning of August; and the Xbox versions will arrive at some point this year.

"It was always in the planning," Douse told me, "but we knew it wouldn't be for launch. It's in the roadmap, and though we have an idea of when we'd like to get it ready for, we don't want to put a date on it until we're sure."

The PS5 version of Baldur's Gate 3 already supports online multiplayer on PS5 and split-screen local co-op. And cross-saves, which in my experience, work very well. The same is true for BG3 on PC by the way - not everyone realises split-screen works there.

If this is the case, I’ll probably double dip on PS5. Split screen on PC is fine but you both have to use a controller which isn’t ideal for me personally.
