BG3 Players Getting Banned On Xbox Is 'Annoying And Uncool', Says Larian Studios

Earlier this week, we shared a story about a Baldur's Gate 3 player who had found themselves banned for a year on Xbox after accidentally uploading three clips showcasing "some naked camp time fun" taking place in the game.

Now, the Director of Publishing over at Larian Studios has responded to the problem, confirming that discussions are being had with Microsoft and the two parties are working to make sure it doesn't keep occurring in the future.

"We’ve seen the reports that some players got banned or otherwise faced issues on Xbox having uploaded screenshots/videos of their ‘gameplay content’. We’re in discussion with Microsoft, and we’re looking into it. Annoying and uncool."

In a follow-up response, it was advised that you can turn off mature content in the options menu if you want to be extra safe for now - and don't forget you can deactivate automatic uploads so your clips aren't posted to the Xbox servers.

With this and the troublesome saving issue, Baldur's Gate 3 hasn't enjoyed the smoothest start to life on Xbox Series X|S so far, but it's still easily one of our favourite games of 2023 - and once these problems are finally sorted out, we look forward to spending many hundreds of hours with it over the coming years!
