Baldur's Gate 3 is off to a good start on Steam
Highly-anticipated D&D role-player Baldur's Gate 3 is doing well on Steam, where it has racked up an impressive player peak of more than 472,000 people in its first day on sale.
This makes Baldur's Gate 3 the second-largest Steam launch of 2023 so far in terms of player count, with just Hogwarts Legacy in front.
Baldur's Gate 3 is currently the third-most played game of the last 24 hours, behind only Steam stalwarts Counter-Strike and Dota 2.
It's a great result, especially for a single-player only game. As Bertie wrote yesterday, it's clear Baldur's Gate 3 is riding a growing wave of interest in the Dungeons and Dragons world.
Of course, Baldur's Gate 3 is only available on PC at the moment. Its PlayStation 5 version arrives on 6th September, with Xbox editions set to follow at some point.
