The sprawling Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game was set to arrive in physical form on Xbox Series X over three discs, but that figure has been revised after Baldur’s Gate 3 came in just 500MB over the limit.
As a result, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox physical wave one March 25 release date will probably slip to the first week of April, Douse warned. Larian will ship each version in order of readiness, with PC first. “No discs makes life easy,” Douse added. “Four discs, hard.”
As already announced, the PS5 version ships on two discs, and the PC version on just one (it hosts a custom installer and comes with a Steam key.)
With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.
Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.
This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.
Got that email like 2 weeks ago. Tbh I'm not tripping. I understand sht happens. I'm just glad they changed their minds on the physical release
I with you. I got the email is well. Happy to eventually own a physical copy and glad it’s not digital only.
Baldur's Gate 3 is so good it might actually be a bad place to start with RPGs.
Baldurs Gate 3 was great, but I dont think it is as crazy as people make it out to be. I actually think Starfield is closer to being a crazy insane once in a lifetime game, but Im ready for the flak Im about to get.
kind of strange they would even use regular 50gb blurays when the SX support 100gb UHD discs. Maybe using 4 50gb discs is cheaper than 2 100gb ones...?
As it is, Sony are the only ones mandating that all PS5 games (on disc) use the 100gb media regardless if the game is even less than 25gb.

I agree with you, that it’s kind of a head scratcher. It’s really doesn’t make sense. You would think it’s not a compression issue, but probably it’s has something to do with policies of Xbox? Either way, that’s sucks for the developer as it costs more to do.
Haven’t seen a 4 disc console game in a while. This may end up being the last one ever. Last one I recall was Lost Oddyssey on the 360. I cannot think of any console games ever being longer than 4 discs, not even on ps1.
Because they are cheap and use single layer discs.
Xbox wants to keep people from buying their products.
