Following reports of issues with save files deleting themselves after a crash while playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox, it appears the issue has finally been resolved thanks to a new update. The Xbox System Update began rolling out on January 16th, which Xbox claims will fix the issue. As it rolls out, the update should be available to all players within a week. The Xbox Support Twitter account posted a message stating, “Xbox System Update will be rolling out from today to address the Save Game issue on Baldur’s Gate 3. You can manually update your console via the Settings or it will roll out to your console within the next week.”
Larian Studios, the developers behind Baldur’s Gate 3, reposted the message on their Twitter account to confirm the update release. Larian’s director of publishing also added a quote, saying “the save issue on Xbox should finally be over,” and encouraged players to download the update and leave feedback.
Baldur’s Gate 3 was released on Xbox in December 2023 after winning Game of the Year at the 2023 Game of the Year awards. However, early players reported multiple issues, with save files sometimes deleting themselves after crashes. The game had previously launched on PC in August 2023 after years of early access. A PlayStation 5 version of the game also launched in September of the same year, but the Xbox release was delayed due to issues getting the RPG’s split-screen mode to work on both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S platforms. Larian Studios eventually decided to drop the feature on the Xbox Series S and launch the game without it.
