Recently, it was reported how much Xbox pays to put games on Game Pass. For instance, Star Wars Jedi Survivor would cost a whopping $300 million! But guess what? Microsoft could have put Baldur’s Gate 3 on Game Pass for only $5 million. Yes, you read that right.
Surprise! Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a massive hit with critics and players alike. Not even Larian, the studio behind the game, was expecting this. According to Michael Douse, the studio’s editorial director, “There just isn’t any existing data that could have told anyone how BG3 was going to perform. We just had to take giant spooky leaps.”
In the end, it’s clear that Baldur’s Gate 3 is worth much more than $5 million on Game Pass. But hey, that’s the risky yet exciting world of game development!
