The new cross-save feature is designed to control the saves on the gaming cloud system. This will let players transfer their saves across their different platforms they purchaseBaldur’s Gate 3on: Steam, GOG, and Google Stadia. The company stated this account will be key to handling save transfers on any other platforms the game may launch on, none of which have been announced yet. With it, players can engage in cross-platform multiplayer, enabling aTwitch extension withBaldur’s Gate 3.
However, the cross-platform multiplayer feature will not be available on Day 1 of the game’s Early Access. Larian Studios enabled cross-save compatibility with its past gameDivinity: Original Sin 2on the PC and Nintendo Switchthat was launched through Steam. This limited the amount of control Larian Studios had on the saves, so the company didn’t have extensive influence on the transfer saves beyond those two platforms. Larian commented that the account service is new and still developing and hopes fans will help further advance its development.
The developer is counting on its relationship with the community, encouraging fans to make an account now, and are looking forward to the feedback. With the game’s Early Access just right around the corner, there are many eyes on this anticipated sequel andBaldur’s Gate 3’simpact on the roleplaying genre. Larian’s own director of publishing, Michael Douse, has already stated it will be a big game that’s always growing, and the developers intend to grow it after launch with a “roadmap of features.” The new cross-save support will be a fundamental part of the game’s growth, and players will be able to find out for themselves what it truly brings to the gaming experience.
