Baldur's Gate 3 has had an astoundingly successful launch by pretty much every reasonable metric and now, 24 hours after release, Larian's latest RPG has surpassed the launches of even Bethesda titans like Skyrim and Fallout 4 on Steam.
As of this writing, Baldur's Gate 3 has reached 532,876 concurrent players on Steam, as SteamDB shows. That's the 11th-biggest concurrent player count in the platform's history, just behind the free-to-play Apex Legends. It's the third-biggest single-player RPG launch in Steam history, behind Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring, and the second-biggest launch of any genre in 2023, behind the open-world action game Hogwarts Legacy.
