Baldur's Gate 3 player count: How many people are playing BG3?

radiotimes.com:

CRPGs such as Baldur’s Gate 3 have typically been regarded as niche titles. Even in their heyday in the late '90s and early 2000s so it seems that just about everyone – Larian included – is surprised at just how many people have been playing the game since it’s PC release. And nopw, we’ll be taking a look at the Baldur's Gate 3 player count to answer how many people are playing BG3.

There has been a dearth of good RPGs that don’t require a constant internet connection, are beleaguered with microtransactions and have rife with performance issues and game-breaking bugs. Badlur’s Gate 3 truly does feel like a breath of fresh air in this regard.

Larian can’t quite put their feet up for a well-deserved break quite yet, as they aren’t totally out of the woods. They still have to get the game ready for PS5 and MacOS, and need to solve the performance woes they’ve faced getting split-screen co-op working on the Xbox Series S. When all these come to pass, the player count is guaranteed to balloon once more. One thing we can learn from all of this is that if you include romanceable bears, the players will follow!
