Larian is having trouble fitting Baldur’s Gate III on the Xbox Series S, the lower-priced and lower-powered console in Microsoft’s ninth-generation lineup.

I was looking up more information on why there’s such an issue getting BG3 on Xbox, and found this article with a lot more detail on the topic.

EDIT: The issue isn’t graphics or frame rate; it’s memory. The article goes into detail.

The Steam Deck is at least a console hybrid, and it works on that.

I'm playing it on the Steam Deck, but it definitely has issues. Have to occasionally restart the game because it starts lagging or being able to interact.

I played it all weekend on my Steam Deck with no issues. I played it handheld for a while and docked on my TV for a while.

You've definitely been fortunate.

It's far from unplayable. I'm still enjoying it. But it does have some issues.

I have like 70 hours on it only on the deck. Zero issues. I think you need to stop saying it has issues just because you have issues. It seems to just be a you thing.

Occasionally? Like more than 1 time during a play session?
