The Xbox retail version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will indeed have 4 discs, since we’re 500mb over the limit for 3. Only option would have been to cut some content out but that didn’t make sense...

Given the history of the series, I find this to be pretty endearing. I have fond memories of playing the multi-disc Baldurs Gate 1 on PC as a child. It's kinda fun to see that today's gamers will have a similar experience with the same series nearly 30 years later.

It'll not be swapped during gameplay, but upon installation. RDR2 was similar.

As of Xbox One/PS4, all disc games are fully installed to the HDD/SSD, so you'll most likely have to sit through a lengthy install process. Not sure how fast the drive is, but it's probably 6x, meaning a theoretical 27 MB/s read speed, which in reality is probably averaging more like 20 MB/s. So the installation will likely take more than two hours.
