A vexing save issue affecting numerous players of Baldur’s Gate 3 on the Xbox platform is set to be addressed with an upcoming update, providing a definitive solution to the firmware problem. Despite the surprise launch of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox during The Game Awards, the official announcement was initially intended for the Game of the Year speech. However, due to time constraints, the reveal was only communicated through a Tweet from Larian Studios.
Despite the anticipation from Xbox fans, the wait ensued as Larian and Microsoft worked on implementing splitscreen functionality on the Series S to ensure both versions were identical. Unfortunately, the Xbox release of Baldur’s Gate 3 encountered a save deletion bug, causing players to lose their progress. Both Microsoft and Larian diligently addressed the issue, offering temporary workarounds and firmware updates. According to a recent Tweet, players can now anticipate a specific date for the resolution.
In a recent Twitter update, Larian Studios shared positive news about the persistent save bug affecting players in Baldur’s Gate 3, confirming that a specific fix is on the horizon. Microsoft has reportedly identified the issue and is in the process of preparing a firmware update to resolve it. While Larian acknowledges that they haven’t independently verified the fix, the studio maintains optimism that Microsoft has indeed pinpointed the root cause of the problem.

Fortunately, the disclosure of a dedicated fix wasn’t the sole noteworthy information shared by Larian. The Tweet also affirmed that players of Baldur’s Gate 3 would have two options to implement the fix. Microsoft is set to release a console firmware update on January 16, allowing players to manually update if desired. Alternatively, players can opt to wait an additional week for an update, likely a Hotfix, which will automatically apply the fix to the game.
While fans now have a concrete date, Larian remains committed to addressing various aspects of the game by rectifying bugs, addressing issues, and incorporating quality of life updates for an enhanced player experience. The recent launch of Hotfix 16 for Baldur’s Gate 3 tackled potential game crashes and other bugs, with a notable feature allowing players unrestricted access to specific quest-related items, regardless of their location on a companion or in a camp chest.
