The studio is also working hard to get the seamless drop-in and drop-out co-op for Baldur's Gate 3 working on the Xbox Series S. The studio is hoping to have an update on the Xbox Series X|S version of the game by the end of the year.

Baldur's Gate 3 will launch for PC via Steam and GOG on August 3, and for the PlayStation 5 on September 6.

This is the way...
Every game should offer cross save.

That's probably a bit of a hassle for smaller games, starting from needing your own servers to having to actually somehow implement the sync logic yourself instead of relying on the platform's existing cloud save support. It's probably not a huge deal for bigger games, but for smaller ones, it might be quite a bit of extra work. For bigger games, I do agree with you though, and it would be preferable even for smaller games.

That is interesting. Haven't decided which version to get but it's nice to know that if I end up in the situation where I have both - the save will carry over.

PC will probably be better, if you have a decent rig. Divinity OS is very playable on consoles. But it's no shame in double dipping for this game. Wonder if they will also make a Switch 2 port down the line.

Cross play and I'll look to buy this. PC friend of mine is really keen on this so I'm looking into getting it myself.

Know what you're getting into before hopping in though. It'll definitely be a lot of help playing with a friend that's already well acquainted with the game.
