Baldur’s Gate 3 is still coming to Xbox Series X|S, but Microsoft initially didn’t think it was worth the money for a Game Pass deal. The news comes from a cache of unredacted Xbox documents that a Microsoft employee reportedly uploaded to a federal court website, and in this one, Microsoft outlined a number of prospects for Game Pass deals and Xbox leaders’ thoughts on them, including BG3 and Assassin’s Creed Mirage (thanks, Polygon).
The table of prospects lists Baldur’s Gate 3 as a “second-run Stadia PC RPG” and estimated that developer Larian would request a $5 million deal to launch the game on Game Pass. Larian did originally position Baldur’s Gate 3 as a Stadia flagship, before Google shut its cloud-streaming platform down.
