Baldur's Gate 3 will not allow the transfer of the early access game to the final version

Larian Studios confirms that the preview of the current version in Steam Early Access cannot be carried over to the final version of the video game on Steam.

Larian Studios has confirmed that the Baldur’s Gate 3 early access game cannot be carried over to the final version of the game once it is released on a date yet to be determined. Thus, those who like to dedicate tens and hundreds of hours to a title like the one at hand, will not be able to continue with their progress in version 1.0 of the third installment of Baldur’s Gate, quite a blow for many of the fans of the saga that have already accumulated many hours of play in the current version of early access available on Steam.

Incompatibility between versions

The main reason for this unexpected setback is none other than the abysmal differences that the title will present in its final version with respect to its current state of early access, a version in which its developers will continue working until reaching the final version of the title: “Los Early access saves will not be transferred when the full game is released at a future date, ”they say from Larian Studios. “Due to the large number of updates and changes planned, the saves will not be compatible”, referring to the final version of Baldur’s Gate, which will arrive in the future on both PC and Stadia.

And it is that its managers hope to add numerous new content during this early access version, from more classes of characters to new skills, through new areas, missions and much more. That is why both versions will be totally incompatible at the level of progress and progress, so it will be necessary to start from scratch in its final version regardless of the progress achieved in its current state.

A news that is especially shocking when the cross-save or cross-save between platforms has already been confirmed, with which it will be possible to play the final version of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam and follow the game as is on Stadia and vice versa.
