PlayStation 4 & 5
Well, as of writing this article, there is no news regarding the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS4. At this point, we have to accept the fact that most upcoming games will likely skip older-gen consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One. Now, what about the PS5? There, we have some good news. So, Baldur’s Gate 3 will be available for the PS5 on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. However, if you’re feeling extra impatient and want to get a head start, there’s a Deluxe Edition available. With that, you get the privilege of diving into the game’s first chapter a whole 72 hours earlier, starting from 9 am PT/12 pm ET on Saturday, September 2, 2023.
Xbox One & Xbox Series X/S
Starting with the Xbox One, this old-gen console is also skipped by the developers, and hence, Baldur’s Gate 3 will not be released for the Xbox One. That brings us to the Xbox Series X/S. Well, things are a bit muddy. But no worries; we are here to clear the water for you. So, as of now, there is no official release date for the Xbox Series X/S version of Baldur’s Gate 3, but what we are sure of is that the title is going to be released on the current-gen Xbox console. Right now, we can only speculate that the release window will probably be around early/mid-2024.
Nintendo Switch
Perhaps the biggest blow is for players who were looking to play the game on their Nintendo Switch. We say this because, as of writing this article, there is no news of the game being available for the handheld console. As you have already read, the developers have their plates full with the Xbox Series X/S version waiting down the pipeline. So, it does not look like the game will be released for a console that is currently in its final run.
