Yesterday, Larian Studios pushed out a huge update for Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but nothing was mentioned in the patch notes about a fix for the deleted saves issue that's been plaguing the Xbox version so far.
That's because it's apparently a Microsoft problem rather than a developer one, and Larian Studios followed up later in the day to confirm that Team Xbox seems to have identified a fix. As things stand, the plan is for an Xbox system update to be made available on January 16th, and it's seemingly being tested by Xbox Insiders right now.
Things are looking very promising for next week then, and the team at Larian are "optimistic" that players will no longer experience issues after the update goes live, although they haven't been able to independently verify the fix as of yet.
When the update does arrive next Tuesday, you'll be able to activate it by going to the "System" part of the "Settings" menu on your Xbox console. Let's keep our collective fingers crossed that this will finally solve the problem for good!
