Baldur's Gate 3 Excluded from Xbox Game Pass

Larian Studios opts for direct sales over subscription service, citing the game's reliance on sales for revenue.

Larian Studios has confirmed that its award-winning RPG, Baldur's Gate 3, will not be released on Xbox Game Pass.
The decision is based on the game's lack of microtransactions, relying solely on game sales for revenue.
Larian's founder, Swen Vincke, believes there's a fair price to be paid for the game, which has a beginning, middle, and end.
Microsoft had previously underestimated the game's success, considering it for a day one title on Game Pass for as little as $5 million.
Despite the decision, Xbox Game Pass remains a divisive platform among developers, with some seeing it as a hindrance to game sales.
