As further proof that epic RPG Baldur's Gate 3 has truly broken into the mainstream, Larian's latest was featured in the most recent episode of South Park, entitled "South Park: Joining the Panderverse".
In the episode, Cartman, living in an alternate reality (and played by Janeisha Adams-Ginyard), is fearful of losing more than 50 hours of BG3 progress and asks, "Do save games not cross multiple universes?" to which Stan replies: "Save games don't even cross between PCs and PS5s – why would they cross between multiple universes?"
Larian's social team was quick to set the record straight, as PC and PS5 cross-save functionality does indeed function in Baldur's Gate 3, though sadly, cross-multiverse functionality is not available at this time. You can check out the clip in question below:
Did you catch the episode in its entirety? Are you still as surprised as we are that Baldur's Gate broke through in the way that it did? Exceed our expectations in the comments section below.

"Put a chick in it, make her gay, and make it lame" has been in my head all weekend.
I've always enjoyed how South Park is able to look at a situation, listen to both sides of the argument...and call both extremes out. They don't pick sides because frankly, both sides are kind of crazy.
I wonder if my saves (modded) still will? lmao
@sonicmeerkat One of the best quotes made from South Park lol
That third South Park next gen game better deliver, or else!
I love that south park makes fun of the "woke" crowd and "anti-woke" crowd in the same episode. It shows how stupid both extremes of the argument can be.
This might be the end of the world... of Warcraft.
I have to imagine this will have introduced a ton of people to the game lol. South Park is gigantic. Couldn't ask for better publicity, even with the inaccurate dialogue about cross-platform saves.
Makes me think the creators are addicted to the game and wanted to work it into the latest special.
South Park has been written months ahead for the last few years, more than likely when they wrote the line it was true and they never bothered to update it because then they'd also have to change the subsequent dialogue.
I haven’t watched South Park in any capacity since the end of season 23, and so the clip above makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Let's look at the facts. When a new episode of South Park airs, about 1 million people watch it; in the past four years, South Park has released 24 new episodes. Baldur's Gate 3 was released three months ago, and it has sold more than 21 million copies. South Park does have a bigger cultural footprint; in America, television is the boss.
@Pat_trick If you believe that democracy and the truth are equal to hatred and ignorance, then please look at the evidence and exercise sound reasoning.
@catsmoke What? I said they're making fun of extreme opinions. Democracy is also freedom of speech. Everyone can be made fun of, no matter their opinions.
Either you didn't understand my comment or you're one of the extreme people they're making fun of. If that's the case, my advice is for you to take things less seriously, they're jokes.
