Today, developer Larian Studios have made an unusual announcement in the video games industry: that their upcoming game Baldur’s Gate 3 will launch earlier than expected. More specifically, the launch of the PC version of the game has been moved up to August 3rd, instead of the original August 31st date. However, there is a trade-off to this news as the PS5 version of the game has been delayed to September 6, a week later than expected.

​

This move has likely been influenced to not coincide too closely with the launch of other big titles like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. To have an idea of what to expect out of Baldur’s Gate 3 ahead of its launch, be sure to check out our review of the Early Access version of the game!

Masterrace wins again

you mean masterrace wins the race to the release?

Smart move. It's good for PC players and they're telling the PS5 players who can't play Starfield "Play this instead".

Ahh, the Child of Bhaal is still asleep.

On one hand I love it, OTOH guess I'll have to put off playing Remnant 2 for a while.

A delayed game is eventually good. But a game... released a month earlier than expected... is uhh...

Well, at least the Switch isn't alone, when it comes to delays.

This is the best news I've gotten all day. So ready to finally see this game in its full glory (minus patches, DLC, etc)

Literally almost every big name title gets delayed all the time.

Ahh, the Child of Bhaal is still asleep.

Is it time for more "experiments"?

ohnononono ps5bros, how could we let this happen?

 

[SunsetFelid2]

Time to find the 100gb of space necessary* to play this bad boy

*I'm stating this as hyperbole and I'm pretty sure its between 60-80gb actually but its been a while since I played the early access so idk

 

[ChibiMofo]

Since the big devs hardly spend any time these days on their ports to PC, it makes sense it is arriving before the PS5 version.

 

[chouitsu]

well good

 

[TomSwitch]

Looks wonderful. PC first is a nice move. I disconnected my PS5 for over six months already and haven't a reason to connect it back.

Even if you aren't familiar with CRPG, I urge you to play this game. Easily the GOTY for me, even among all the great games released this year.

Me and my freinds are so hyped to play this. we got as far as we could in our last campaign before being told to eff off until its done
