Anyone hoping to get their hands on the physical copies of console Deluxe Editions of Baldur’s Gate 3 will now have to wait a while longer thanks to production issues out of the developer's hands.
Larian Studios took to Twitter to give fans an update on Baldur’s Gate 3 console Deluxe Editions, and sadly it isn't great news. The developers have encountered some production issues, and with them comes a delayed shipping time for North American PlayStation 5 orders and all Xbox orders.
Larian Studios does go on to state,
“We are working to get them all to you as soon as we can and are very sorry about this extra delay. All PC orders have now been shipped and the PS5 orders for Europe and Oceania will start to be shipped this week. We expect to ship all Deluxe Edition orders within the month of May.”

The studio initially announced that these Deluxe Editions would be available within the first quarter of 2024, but there have been a few delays prior to this that also threw that release timeline in the trash. The Deluxe Editions for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox consoles were announced back in November of 2023, and the physical copies will come with real-life rewards as well as the Digital Deluxe version of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Though this might be sad news, it’s good to get an update as to what’s going on behind the scenes and know that it shouldn’t be delayed too much longer. If you haven't jumped into BG3 yet, check out our full review to see if the game is worth your time.
