Baldur’s Gate 3 being Steam Deck Verified is angering Xbox players, as Larian has not announced a Series X|S port.

    The Steam Deck doesn’t have the split screen co-op that Microsoft is insisting the series S have with the game.

    In fairness to both Larian and Microsoft, the very feature that seems to be keeping Baldur’s Gate 3 off the Xbox Series X|S is also a problem for Steam Deck. The developers have disabled split-screen co-op on the handheld, and while gamers have found a workaround, it does seem to negatively impact game performance.

      Huh I wonder if the steam deck has any two+ player games. I’m gonna go ask at the steamdeck community.

        I mean, its just a handheld pc. Think of any pc game with splitscreen and boom theres one (as long as it works in proton). You can connect bluetooth controllers and dock it to a tv too, so your’re not akwardly playing on one handheld screen.
