Baldur's Gate 3 Deleted Save Bug Continues on Xbox, Larian Offers a Cross Save Work Around

It's been a few weeks since , and some players have faced a bug that deletes their saves upon exiting the game throughout the holidays. Microsoft hasn't yet been able to patch it — but Larian Studios now has a temporary fix. Yesterday, in , Larian Studios acknowledged the bug and said Microsoft hasn't been able to fix it yet because less people are working over the holidays.

Instead, it announced the following work around that lets players make sure their games are saved: Larian Studios mentioned that the issue is happening because of a firmware issue that causes the game to believe a save was completed when it hasn't been fully committed to the disk. It also plans to increase the number of save games that get uploaded via cloud saves to make this work around easier for players.

"We completely understand that losing progress is frustrating, and unacceptable," Larian Studios wrote in the post. "We’re doing everything we can to ensure this problem which we understand is unique is resolved as quickly as possible, and we’ll keep you up to date with progress." This isn't the first time .

Despite its issues on Xbox, however, Baldur's Gate 3 has had a great few months. We gave the game a 10/10 in , calling it "the new high water mark for CRPGs." Since then, it's gone on to take home a wealth of awards, including as well as IGN's own and awards..
