US EditionBaldur's Gate 3 Might Not Come to Switch 2 as Larian CEO Says a Port 'Wasn't Our Decision to Make'
Larian CEO Swen Vincke said Wizards of the Coast controls Baldur's Gate 3 Switch 2 port decision, preventing Larian from independently pursuing the release.
- During a Reddit AMA, Larian CEO Swen Vincke said a Switch 2 Baldur's Gate 3 port wasn't their decision, with Wizards of the Coast controlling final approval.
- Because Wizards holds Dungeons & Dragons rights, Wizards of the Coast controls Baldur's Gate 3's future and can block ports, while Hasbro declined to comment.
- Having previously supported Nintendo, Larian last month updated Divinity: Original Sin 2 for PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2, but it now only supports Baldur's Gate 3 with minor fixes.
- Given the game's acclaim and control scheme, Switch owners lose access to Baldur's Gate 3 despite Switch 2's mouse-capable Joy-Cons making it a strong fit and hardware concerns about porting.
- Though blocked now, the possibility remains because Wizards of the Coast could engage third-party partners, as Vincke implied Larian lacked permission to pursue a Switch 2 port.
