Choices matter in Baldur’s Gate 3, and now Xbox players can finally plan theirs before the journey begins. Here’s how to secure your copy, what each edition offers, and which bonuses might change your adventure before it even starts.
One important detail to know is that the Series S version won’t include the couch co-op mode present in the Series X version. This is a controversial break from convention (normally games have feature-parity across Xbox consoles) that Microsoft will allow in order to get this popular game on its platform.

Compare Xbox pre-order editions and prices
Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox no longer offers pre-order editions since its full release in December 2023, but historical pre-order options included Standard and Deluxe versions with distinct contents and pricing. Pre-orders were available digitally via the Xbox Store and limited physical copies through Larian Studios. Current full-price equivalents maintain similar structures for new buyers.
Edition Contents
Standard Edition provided the base game with core campaign, online multiplayer (up to four players), and no split-screen co-op on Xbox. Deluxe Edition added pre-order bonuses like exclusive dice sets, in-game item packs (e.g., Bard instrument, armors), digital soundtrack, artbook, and printable character sheets. Physical Deluxe included a steelbook case and disc with all digital extras.
Price Comparison
| Edition | Pre-Order Price (USD) | Key Bonuses | Availability Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $59.99 | Base game only | Digital only |
| Deluxe (Digital) | $69.99 | Dice, packs, soundtrack, artbook | Digital (Xbox Store) |

Which pre-order edition has the best bonus content
The Deluxe Edition offered the best bonus content among Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox pre-order options.
Deluxe Bonuses
It included exclusive in-game dice sets, cosmetic packs (e.g., Bard’s instruments, armors), digital soundtrack, artbook, and printable character sheets-far exceeding the Standard Edition’s base game only. Physical Deluxe added a steelbook case and disc for collectors. These extras enhanced customization and collectibility without impacting core gameplay.
Why Best Overall
Standard lacked extras, making Deluxe the clear value for bonus-focused pre-orders; many upgraded free post-launch. Physical version maximized tangibles but was limited. No higher tiers existed.
