\u201cOn both PS5 and Xbox, the game will be playable on disc, with the PS5 version\u00a0sporting two discs, and Xbox a whopping three discs to house the chonky epic,\u201d reads the press release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Knowing just how massive the game is, I\u2019m pretty sure one of those discs houses Act 3 alone. Massive size aside, the developers at Larian Studios understand that now more than ever, it\u2019s worth offering players physical versions of games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cWe understand the value of physical media, and while there are clearly increasingly significant challenges when it comes to the archiving of games,\u201d said Larian\u2019s director of publishing,\u00a0Michael Douse, \u201cwe truly believe it\u2019s worth experimenting, even if it means a fuck-ton of discs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As an extra boon to Xbox players, Larian has announced it will finally share the Xbox release date<\/a> at this year\u2019s Game Awards. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em> sports a whopping eight nominations, tying Alan Wake 2 <\/em>for the most nominations for the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In addition to a Final Fantasy VII<\/em> number of discs, the deluxe edition comes with all sorts of bonus goodies like the soundtrack (also on three discs), an art poster, stickers, and fabric patches. The physical edition includes digital items as well, such as a fancy dice skin for all those ability checks, a digital art book, and digital character sheets in case you want to do your best Neil Newbon impression during your own Dungeons & Dragons<\/em> campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
