Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 Set to Join Xbox Game Pass

The Enhanced Editions of the classic RPGs, known for their engaging narratives and character development, will soon be available to subscribers.

Baldur's Gate 3 may be the better game of the trio but the first two aren't half-bad either.

Overview

  • Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, along with their Enhanced Editions, are expected to be added to the Xbox Game Pass lineup, according to notifications received by subscribers.
  • The first two games in the series, originally released in 1998 and 2000, are known for their engaging narratives and character development within the Dungeons & Dragons universe.
  • The Enhanced Editions, released in 2013, updated these classics with improved visuals and controller support, making them more accessible to today's players.
  • Despite the success of Baldur's Gate 3, it is not expected to join the Game Pass. The game continues to maintain a substantial player base and has won numerous awards.
  • Players are warned that the gameplay of the first two games, developed under the second edition D&D rules, differs significantly from modern RPGs and may pose a challenge for newcomers to the series.
