, Douse made it clear that the «retail version of Baldur's Gate 3 will indeed have four disks, since we're 500MB over the limit for three. Only option would have been to cut some content out, but that didn't make sense, so confirming four.»Douse was referring to the physical deluxe edition of the game, which is available on the Larian Studios website. The premium edition includes a world map, some sew-on patches, 32 stickers, a soundtrack CD collection, and an ominous poster of a Mindflayer — betenticled antagonists of the critically acclaimed role-playing game (RPG).
Though wave one of the deluxe editions has sold out, copies of wave two are still available and are set to ship in «Q2 2024,» according to Larian's website — that's between April and June for those less versed in finance-speak.
