Larian Studios director of publishing Michael Douse discussed Patch 5 for Baldur's Gate 3 and how much performance has improved.
The team has been working on optimizing the game for the Xbox Series S ahead of the Xbox launch in December and Douse revealed all the optimization on Xbox has meant there have been improvements to the performance on both the PlayStation 5 and PC.
"Performance improvements are coming to both PC and PS5 on behalf of all the work that's gone into optimizing for Xbox," said Douse. "That's exciting, but also maybe the least exciting thing in Patch 5, to give you an idea of how exciting it is. More tomorrow."
