Since its full launch on Steam and GOG for Windows PC players last week, Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 has rapidly become one of the most successful releases of 2023. Thanks to a tidal wave of pre-launch excitement and years of Early Access goodwill, the player count of the gargantuan Dungeons & Dragons CRPG's has skyrocketed into the hundreds of thousands. In fact, according to SteamDB data, the game peaked at an astounding 814,666 players over the weekend, putting it squarely in Steam's top 10 most-played games list.
The success has been incredible to see, especially since Baldur's Gate 3 defies game industry trends and delivers a deep and satisfying fantasy RPG experience that many have been craving. Notably, PS5 players will be able to join in on the fun come September 6, though Xbox fans will unfortunately have to wait much longer to jump into the Forgotten Realms.
