The PlayStation mobile app recently notified several users that the release date of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5 would change, but that information is incorrect. Baldur’s Gate 3 has been met with glowing reviews so far, which has PS5 gamers anxious to play it on their platform of choice.
Baldur's Gate 3 is among the most popular games in Steam’s history, with a concurrent player count of over 800,000 players this week and even more folks will be able to play it when it releases for consoles. PS5 and Xbox versions of Baldur's Gate 3 are planned, though the PS5 version will be coming out first.
Recently, the official PlayStation mobile app sent out notifications to many users stating that Baldur’s Gate 3 would get a new release date. However, the Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 release plans have not actually changed, despite the official notification. BG3 is still going to be available for PS5 players on September 3 with the Digital Deluxe Edition’s early access launch, or September 6 for the general audience.
It's safe to say that PlayStation gamers are very interested in Larian Studio’s latest title. After the game’s successful launch on PC, Baldur's Gate 3 pre-orders for PS5 have dramatically spiked. At the moment, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the most pre-ordered PS5 game, taking the lead against other fairly popular titles such as Mortal Kombat 1 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This would easily put it among the most eagerly awaited PS5 games in 2023.
Now that the game is out on PC, many players are wondering about the future of the franchise, and what Larian Studios will create next. Larian’s boss Swen Wicke recently affirmed that the team would like to work on another Divinity title in the future, but did not confirm whether gamers could expect a DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3 or even a sequel anytime soon. According to Wicke, the studio will take a break after the current game, as the devs have not stopped working since Divinity: Original Sin 2 was released. In any case, gamers have a lot to expect, as the game will continue to receive updates, and will be released for PS5 soon, followed by the launch of the Xbox Series X/S version, which still does not have an official date.
Baldur's Gate 3 is out now for PC with a PS5 version releasing on September 6. An Xbox version is also in development.
