Larian Discusses with Microsoft on Resolving Xbox Bans for Baldur's Gate 3 Explicit Content Uploads

Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Douse, has addressed concerns over Xbox players being banned for sharing explicit content from Baldur's Gate 3, calling the situation "annoying and uncool." The company is in discussions with Microsoft after reports of players facing bans for uploading gameplay content, including steamy romance scenes from the game. One player's year-long ban was overturned, but the issue seems to stem from Xbox's automated content flagging system. Larian Studios is advocating for a more sensible moderation policy, as the game's adult content is a significant aspect of its appeal and storytelling.
