The sprawling Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game was set to arrive in physical form on Xbox Series X over three discs, but that figure has been revised after Baldur’s Gate 3 came in just 500MB over the limit.
As a result, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox physical wave one March 25 release date will probably slip to the first week of April, Douse warned. Larian will ship each version in order of readiness, with PC first. “No discs makes life easy,” Douse added. “Four discs, hard.”
As already announced, the PS5 version ships on two discs, and the PC version on just one (it hosts a custom installer and comes with a Steam key.)
If you were a bit miffed about not getting some cool dialogue options as a Paladin when it comes to specific gods, this article is just for you. Some Baldur’s Gate 3 players share a helpful PSA on how to get more thematic and god-specific dialogue options out of Paladins, without having to resort to mods.
A new Baldur’s Gate 3 mod brings Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 content to the popular Larian RPG for free on PC.
I respect people who can dig deep on one game, and only one game, but I can't do it.
I used to play multiple games at a time but because of the time constraints I have I don’t have a choice but to play one game at a time or I’ll end up with some unfinished games. I like to get platinums for the games I enjoy the most so it can take me a long time to get to the next game.
It definitely takes some will power as I always have a stack of games I want to play at all times. But most of the games I play are really good and I am fully immersed when I’m playing a single game at a time.
Same here. I’ll focus on a game that I really enjoy and get the most out of it before moving onto the next title. That is why I have a massive backlog of games now.
Same for me. I play so many games, currently playing oblivion, expedition, blades of fire, bg3 with friends , avowed, and Nioh 2. After learning more about myself and gaining mastery, I have developed an ability to get fulfillment from a game without needing to “complete” it. Unless of course, a game hooks me for the story, in which case I have to complete it to see what happens. I have discovered that in terms of gameplay, one can get most if not all of the expected experience in about 25% of progress through play.
Sounds like renting is the best way to go in your case. No point in buying games you won't complete.
It depends on what one deems as “complete.” For some, it is completing the story, and for others it is completing all tasks and objectives. Usually when this happens, people will feel “that was fun, whats next.” There is always a whats next. Cant think of anyone that has consumed media and thought “I am completely satisfied and will not need to play or watch another. I have simply mastered this “hunger” if you will. I am able to get so far in a game and then move to another without needing to reach a certain requirement. A benefit of this is that I do not get bored, as that game I didn’t beat still has mystries to unravel and new things I haven’t done.
kind of strange they would even use regular 50gb blurays when the SX support 100gb UHD discs. Maybe using 4 50gb discs is cheaper than 2 100gb ones...?
As it is, Sony are the only ones mandating that all PS5 games (on disc) use the 100gb media regardless if the game is even less than 25gb.

I agree with you, that it’s kind of a head scratcher. It’s really doesn’t make sense. You would think it’s not a compression issue, but probably it’s has something to do with policies of Xbox? Either way, that’s sucks for the developer as it costs more to do.
Haven’t seen a 4 disc console game in a while. This may end up being the last one ever. Last one I recall was Lost Oddyssey on the 360. I cannot think of any console games ever being longer than 4 discs, not even on ps1.
Because they are cheap and use single layer discs.
Xbox wants to keep people from buying their products.
