With Microsoft being a little bit late with its first Xbox Game Pass roundup for June, we didn’t actually know what was coming to the service today ahead of time - but evidently a couple of Baldur’s Gate games were part of the plans.
Specifically, Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Editions have appeared today on Xbox Game Pass, available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Cloud Gaming. You can play them right now! Two Baldur’s Gate Games Have Quietly Appeared On Xbox Game Pass (June 5) 6
Both of these games have been released separately in the past, but they’re combined for the Xbox port, meaning you only need to download the one file. As the name suggests, they’re both “enhanced” versions of the original Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate 2 games from back in the late 90s / early 2000s.
We’ll throw more details about these brand-new Xbox Game Pass releases down below:
"Gather your party: the RPG saga returns. Immerse yourself in an epic RPG series where every choice matters. Play over 100 hours of adventure in enhanced editions of Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II— plus the full Siege of Dragonspear expansion!
Explore a brand new chapter in the Baldur’s Gate Saga! Siege of Dragonspear is a full expansion to Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, with 25+ hours of adventure in the classic style of the original RPG."
I have such great memories of these games but man, trying to play anything with the second edition ruleset these days is rough.
