Larian has delayed the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, currently on pace to possibly be 2023’s Game of the Year, until they can figure out how to make split-screen work on Series S.

Feature parity is not a requirement for Deck verification, Larian simply disabled split screen on the platform and called it a day.

Microsoft requires feature parity between Series X and S versions of the same game. If you want to support split screen on Series X then you must support it on Series S as well.

    Yeah it's basically like a launch option that will configure it in a certain way. You can in fact with a launch option tell the game to ignore this, and play split screen on Deck. I have seen people doing it but I doubt it runs well but I guess that's the beauty of PC/Deck gaming that you can do whatever you want to and make up your own mind.
