The Game of the Year Award winner, Baldur’s Gate 3 is easily one of the most popular games of 2023. Although it received glory at The Game Awards 2023 by claiming a number of categories, players are unhappy about one issue that Microsoft has yet to fix.

The game has been facing problems with the saving function in the game. Players have been complaining about their games not getting saved on exit while playing on the Xbox series X and S. While Larian Studios works on a solution for this issue, Xbox support teams have given players a temporary resolution.

How to prevent Baldur’s Gate 3 save files from getting lost on the Xbox?

The devs at Larian Studios have been tirelessly working to make sure the game is in perfect condition. While developers are actively working on a fix and patching the game, Xbox Support has posted a guide on their forums.

One of the first steps that the team has recommended is updating the console. Having the Xbox running on an older update might make games not work properly.

To make sure that players don’t lose their saved files, players can follow these steps:

• Save your progress in the game before closing.
• Exit to your Home screen using the Xbox button.
• Highlight Baldur’s Gate 3 from your recently played list and press the Menu button.
• Select “Quit” to ensure the game is not running in the background.

Following this may significantly reduce the chances of encountering the save and crash bug in Baldur’s Gate 3. Xbox has mentioned that the issue is a problem on their side and how they are working on fixing it.

Despite this setback, Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken the title for the best game of the year, not to mention Larian Studios bagging quite a few awards in 2023.

What accolades has Baldur’s Gate 3 achieved so far?

With its initial launch for the PC on August 3, 2023, Larian Studios has received several accolades for the success of Baldur’s Gate 3. In 2023 alone, the game has been nominated for The Golden Joystick Awards, 3DJuegos Awards, Brazil Game Awards and The Game Awards 2023.
