KerryBy 3 Mins Read
The official release date for Xbox console-exclusive Starfield is September 6. However, the game’s early access date of September 1 sets up a massive fight with PS5 timed-console exclusive Baldur’s Gate 3, which will launch just one day earlier, on August 31.
The recent Starfield Direct presentation appears to have heightened interest in Bethesda’s open-world sci-fi RPG. While some fans are wary of Starfield following Fallout 76, others feel it will be a return to form for Bethesda.
Starfield is climbing the Steam sales charts in the aftermath of the Starfield Direct presentation, and as long as there are no significant issues at launch, it appears safe to say that Starfield will be one of the biggest games of 2023.
Baldur’s Gate 3 by Larian Studios is another game that could potentially be one of the top titles in 2023. Larian has created some of the highest-rated RPGs ever with its Divinity: Original Sin games. Thus, expectations for Baldur’s Gate 3 are high. The early access DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3 has been positively received by fans, and all signs point to the game being another homerun for Larian.

When all is said and done, it will be interesting to see whether the PS5-only RPG or the Xbox-only RPG was more popular. Of course, PC players have a choice between the two games and may eventually determine whether Baldur’s Gate 3 or Starfield wins.

With Starfield available on Game Pass from the start, including the PC version, PC gamers may play it through the subscription service and buy Baldur’s Gate 3 outright, but even if the financial aspect is ignored, gamers still have limited time and only one of these western RPGs will be able to triumph.
