Larian Studios is looking into reports that Baldur’s Gate 3 players on Xbox have had their accounts banned for uploading nude and explicit media of the game onto Xbox Live, namely the intimate scenes with party members that you’ve built up romantic relationships with.

“We’ve seen the reports that some players got banned or otherwise faced issues on Xbox having uploaded screenshots/videos of their ‘gameplay content’,” said Larian director of publishing Michael Douse on Twitter. “We’re in discussion with Microsoft, and we’re looking into it. Annoying and uncool.”

Now Playing: Baldur's Gate 3 Video Review

While simply recording scenes doesn’t get players banned, many Xbox players may have automatic uploads enabled on their consoles, so recording those scenes may accidentally upload them to Xbox Live. Some other players may record and upload these scenes intentionally for the sake of their own gameplay.

It’s unclear if and when those banned will be able to play their games online again. However, it looks like Larian is taking action now.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. In GameSpot’s Baldur’s Gate 3 review, we said, “Baldur’s Gate 3 is a sprawling, dense RPG backed by fantastic characters, an excellent combat system, and an impressive co-op mode.” Baldur’s Gate 3 is also GameSpot’s 2023 Game of the Year.
