Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it’s officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it’s the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I’m curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?
We’re playing on XBox Series X, and it behaves reasonably well. We typically split-screen while exploring, and merge the screens during battles.
When playing Divinity:Original Sin 2 we remained in merged screens 90% of the time, but for some reason it feels off in BG3, so we go with the merge only in battles.
I definitely need to read more about this… I (kinda) compare BG3 with The Witcher 3, and I would have enjoyed playing TW3 a lot with my gf for sure! (Not sure if she would like the whole run though).
It does have split screen, and getting that mode in particular to run well is why the Xbox Series S version had problems coming to market. I can’t speak for how well it runs on PS5, but it had no problems getting certified by Sony.
The thing is, I have heard this title and Wukong don’t run that well in the PS5, or at least that is what I have read in online sites… I am not sure if that is true, or it is only PC gamers being noisy about it.

Baldurs Gate 3 split screen with my wife.
BG3 has a split screen!?
I have heard it doesn’t run quite well on PS5… Now I wonder if this mode is available there and if it is better or worse lol.

Witcher 3 is my number 1 game of all time. My wife won’t play it because she hates Geralt’s voice.
TIL somebody is able to hate Geralt’s voice.
She knows she is in the minority.
I am just sad she’s missing out.
If you play on PC maybe there is a mod that changes his voice, IDK dude, PC modders are crazy 😂

Does this work on PC? I couldn’t figure out local multiplayer last time I tried (I only tried for a couple of minutes).
