Why Baldur’s Gate III is an accidental PS5 console exclusive (www.engadget.com)

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.

I’ve been debating which console I might want to get for awhile now and this may have been the final straw pushing me towards the PS5. Haven’t been this excited about this game in a long time and there are several other exclusives that look amazing too.

I've been an Xbox Guy™ since the 360 launched, but I have a PS5 this generation. I don't want to shill it too hard but the exclusives are great, I'm glad I switched.

I mean the whole point that xboxers were making when the ps5 was released was 'but gamepass!'. Now that ps also has their 'game subscription', I do not really see the appeal of an xbox, especially if you also own a pc. PS has exclusives, xbox does not - at least not ones I'd be interested in and couldn't play on PC.

If you have PC/Deck and want a console, then PS5 is the way yeah.
