Heading into The Game Awards 2023, it was very clearly shaping up to be a special night for Baldur's Gate 3. Larian had already confirmed it would reveal the Xbox Series X/S release date there, the game had a whopping total of 8 nominations (tied for most with Alan Wake 2), and the possibility of some big surprise was always on the table. Baldur's Gate 3's representation at The Game Awards 2023 delivered on all this in spades.
