But while Original Sin 2 has been on Nintendo&#8217;s system since 2019, Larian&#8217;s next game, Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, never made it to any Nintendo console. Why not? Well, Larian at least says it wasn&#8217;t its decision.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Games\/comments\/1q870w5\/larian_studios_divinity_ama\/\">Reddit AMA today<\/a> conducted by various members of Larian, CEO Swen Vincke took a moment to answer a question about whether or not Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 for Nintendo Switch 2 was &#8220;even possible&#8221;. Sadly, his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Games\/comments\/1q870w5\/comment\/nylkog6\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\">answer wasn&#8217;t a happy one<\/a>: &#8220;We would have loved to but it&#8217;s wasn&#8217;t our decision to make.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"baldurs-gate-3-biggest-changes-in-patch-8\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Vincke is speaking in the past tense because officially, Larian is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/baldurs-gate-3-patch-8-notes-include-final-farewell-message-as-larian-looks-ahead\">done with Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3<\/a>. It&#8217;s still supporting the game with minor bug fixes, but there&#8217;s no reason to expect the studio to do a whole new release on a new platform now, especially since it&#8217;s moved on to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/yup-that-weird-statue-was-teasing-a-new-divinity-game-the-game-awards-2025\">new Divinity game<\/a>. That leaves Wizards of the Coast in charge of the future of Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, meaning a port isn&#8217;t happening without its blessing.<\/p>\n<p>Which seems to be what Vincke is implying here &#8211; that Larian would have done one, but Wizards for whatever reason decided not to. We&#8217;ve reached out to Wizards of the Coast for comment on this.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"divinity-original-sin-2-official-nintendo-switch-2-xbox-series-xs-ps5-launch-trailer\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Which is a shame for Switch owners, because Baldur&#8217;s Gate is a fantastic game.
