    Why does Baldur's Gate 3 keep CRASHING when launched?


    The game is Baldur's Gate 3. My husband and I love this game. We have an Xbox Series X and have 115 hours of game time on BG3. We were in midway of act 3 when we saved for the night. The next day we started up the game again, launched the game like normal, saw the Larian logo and NVIDIA Studio logo and then it came back to XBOX home. We thought it was a glitch, so we launched the game again, then again, then again. So we launched a different game to see if it's the console, but that game was fine. It played well, and so I launched a Game Pass game also, and it was also fine. Then I launched BG3 again and it crashed again. OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING?! This started happening on March 21, 2025. We bought the standard game for $70 back in February. We don't use mods because we want to experience it straight up first. We uninstalled and reinstalled the game. We did all the troubleshooting in the XBOX Support of the game. We placed a request to Larian Studios also to see if it's on their side also. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!! We getting anxious and running out of what to do.

    :)

    Baldurs Gate 3 Crash

    Hi, Tdem! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
    I'm sorry you are experiencing issues playing Baldur's Gate 3.

    If this only happens with Baldur's Gate 3, it may be due to an issue with the game itself. The best support channel for in-game problems such as the one you are experiencing with BG3, is contacting the game's publisher or dedicated support team. In this case, that is Larian Studios.

    Larian Studios Support can be reached at: https://larian.com/support
