The Xbox retail version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will indeed have 4 discs, since we’re 500mb over the limit for 3. Only option would have been to cut some content out but that didn’t make sense, so confirming 4. Updating here: https://t.co/xUoKLALyqr https://t.co/A2QQ3lI7y9

«The retail version of Baldur’s Gate 3 for Xbox will indeed have 4 discs, as we exceeded the 3-disc limit by 500 MB. The only option would have been to cut some of the content, but that doesn’t make sense, so we confirm 4»,” Larian Publishing Director Michael Dawes confirmed in a tweet.
Because of this, the March 25 release date of Baldur’s Gate 3 for Xbox is likely to be pushed back to the first week of April, Dawes warned. Larian will ship each version in the order it is ready, starting with PC first. «No disks makes life easier,» he added.

As already announced, the PS5 version comes on two disks, while the PC version — only on one (it contains a special installer and comes with a Steam key).
As a reminder, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which includes the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion, became the first Xbox Series X game to be released on three disks when it went on sale last December.
