Opportunists are trying to sell Baldur's Gate 3 Deluxe Edition pre-orders on eBay for as much as $300. It's always irritating when people snatch up limited edition collectibles and graphics cards to resell them for a profit, but there's an even bigger problem with this scheme: The Baldur's Gate 3 Deluxe Edition isn't a limited edition, and you can just pre-order one from Larian for $80 right now. It'll ship next year.
The Baldur's Gate 3 Collector's Editions are indeed sold out, and are currently going for over $500 on eBay. But these physical Deluxe Editions aren't in danger of going off sale anytime soon, according to Larian director of publishing Michael Douse.
Although Larian has already «blitzed past» the minimum number of physical Deluxe Edition orders it expected, says Douse, the company was prepared for that likelihood, and set a Q1 2024 shipping window precisely so that it could add shipping waves as needed to cover demand.
