Baldur's Gate 3, the Game Of The Year 2023 Award winner, was first launched for Sony PS5 and Windows PCs. Then, it made its way to Microsoft's latest gaming consoles, Xbox Series X and Series S. However, the launch hasn't been smooth so far, as the game is facing issues related to autosave. This is obviously a bug, and it is irritating a lot of gamers worldwide, but the company is working on a fix.
Microsoft has confirmed that it is aware of the autosave bug on Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox Series X|S. Some users are losing hours of game progress due to this bug, and that has been irritating users. While the company is working on a fix for this bug, there is no information as to when an update will be released to fix the issue. Until then, Microsoft is recommending that users manually save their game progress and then exit the game to the home screen of their Xbox. From there, it is recommended that players quit the game entirely.
WindowsCentral notes that the issue could stem from Microsoft's Quick Resume system, which is present on the Xbox Series S and the Xbox Series X. Gamers are relying on it instead of saving the game properly. It isn't clear if the problem persists if players use Larian Studios' Cross Save system that works across platforms. It is also unclear if the fix will come via an update to the game or to the gaming console.
Baldur's Gate 3 is among the best-selling games of this year, and it has received the Game Of The Year 2023 award across six categories. The video game is based on the tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons, and it was nominated in nine game categories. It has been praised for its gameplay, narrative, and production quality. The game is also available for macOS.
