Baldur’s Gate 3 will launch on Xbox this year after Larian and Phil Spencer “found a solution”

…not exactly. Phil never said the S had to have split screen. that was Larian’s call in wanting to make it work. Like i said before, the core game is the only requirement on this parity clause. Meaning the game itself, not play styles that may be optional to the player. split screen is not required for this, its completely playable single player. The S can do online co-op still so really it was Larian who decided to drop the local co-op. Phil was completely fine with that because the core game is still the same.
