It appears that Baldur’s Gate 3 is selling like hotcakes. According to the Belgian Embassy in China, the PC sales of Baldur’s Gate 3 are currently over 5.2 million.
According to this translated report:
“So, can we say that Baldur’s Gate 3 rolled a “natural 20”? Let’s take a look at the numbers as of August 16th when this article was written:
– The game has sold 5.2 million copies on the PC gaming platform Steam, with more than 870,000 concurrent online users and a 94.3% positive rating.
– On Metacritic, a site that collects reviews, Baldur’s Gate 3 is already the eighth highest-rated game of all time, with an average rating of 97%, and the highest-rated game since 2010.”
Do note that this number also includes the game’s Early Access PC sales. From what we know, the game sold around 2.5 million copies in Early Access, meaning that Larian may have doubled the total PC sales of Baldur’s Gate 3.
A couple of days ago, Larian released the fourth Hotfix for its RPG. Furthermore, the team is working on a massive Patch that will resolve around 1000 bugs and issues. Larian will then follow this update with another that will incorporate some of the biggest requests it has received from the community since launch.
Lastly, make sure to read our PC Performance Analysis. And, if for some reason you get any major DX11 stuttering issues after a prolonged period of gaming, we suggest switching to the Vulkan API.
Stay tuned for more!
