The PlayStation 5 version, meanwhile, was delayed a week to the same Sept. Larian brought Baldur’s Gate 3’s Steam launch forward by a month specifically to avoid a clash with Bethesda’s sci-fi epic, a decision that seems to have paid off handsomely. They will likely be joined by a fifth on Sept. All four of these premium, solo games launched on Steam in the last three years - three of them in the last 18 months. The rest of the chart is composed of free-to-play multiplayer games. Notably, Baldur’s Gate 3 is now one of four paid, single-player games in Steam’s most-played top 10, alongside Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and Hogwarts Legacy. Official Steam figures show Baldur’s Gate 3’s (current) peak player record of 814,666.
STEAM CHARTS CRACKED
“Probably should stay away from the IT team for a while - told them they should expect like 100k or so at max,” Larian’s founder and CEO Swen Vincke said Friday on Twitter, as Baldur’s Gate 3 cracked 500,000 concurrent players on Steam.
The Belgian developer has an ardent following for its detailed, specialized, highly traditional RPGs in the Divinity series, but the studio has never enjoyed so much attention before. The scale of the game’s success has surprised Larian. Despite the fact that it’s been available in early access form for years, the game’s proper launch on Thursday rode a wave of excitement and discussion that had swelled dramatically in the preceding weeks. Baldur’s Gate 3, the Dungeons & Dragons-based role-playing game from Larian Studios, hit a peak of 814,666 concurrent players on Steam on Sunday - the ninth-highest count ever recorded on the platform.Īccording to SteamDB’s figures, Baldur’s Gate 3 stormed the all-time Steam charts over the weekend, displacing Apex Legends from the top 10.
