Xbox is banning users for automatically uploading steamy sex scenes from Baldur’s Gate 3::Baldur’s Gate 3 allows characters to remove their clothes and romance other characters. It’s getting users in trouble with Xbox Live.
“Sorry guys, I can’t play with y’all anymore since I uploaded that clip of Astarion getting pounded by a bear”
More accurately: Xbox is uploading steamy sex scenes from BG3, then banning users who did absolutely nothing but play a sexy game.
Just maybe they shouldn’t auto-upload stuff, or properly tag content coming from M rated games as M rated.
It would cut into 10 year olds feeling peer pressure to get into GTA though I guess.
So Xbox is turning into Nintendo and just gonna be “family friendly” now?
That burned them in the Kinect days. Phil had a big hand in correcting that so I would hope he has enough sense not to let it happen again.
Thank god the switch is family friendly, i wouldn’t be wanting to accidentally play some filth in front of my kids. In our household we only play proper games like Hentai Girls, Hentai World and of course the thanksgiving family favorite Hentai Stars deluxe edition
Well you did just give me a reason to wanna emulate NSW games.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’s these spicy scenes, however, that are causing Xbox Live to ban users when their devices automatically record and upload them.
In an interview with Kotaku, Daddy-Vegas said that the bans on his account were implemented “in 30 seconds with no warning or chance to correct the error” after his lewd clip uploaded automatically.
Xbox issued a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, where it recommended users turn off the “auto-upload” feature when they think they are coming up on sensitive content.
Sensitive content can be found practically every second of Baldur’s Gate because the game allows players to remove all their clothes at any point.
“If this was a first offense, for example, we will remove the suspension and let players know why it happened and how to avoid future issues (e.g. how to turn off auto-upload when sensitive content is being captured).”
Xbox added that a moderator views each clip for violations of its safety and content policies before taking action.

Maybe Microsoft shouldn’t have auto upload as default. Or they can disable recording on specific scenes like what PS 4/5 do. Kinda weird punishing users for their incompetence
