[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60087, member: 1"] Baldur’s Gate 3’s huge launch swelled over the weekend, with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game breaking the 800,000 concurrent players barrier on August 6. The peak concurrent count on Steam was 814,666, which puts Baldur’s Gate 3 in ninth-place in [URL='https://steamdb.info/charts/?sort=peak']Steam’s all-time concurrent players list[/URL]. It’s chasing down eighth-placed Hogwarts Legacy, seventh-placed Amazon’s New World, and sixth-placed FromSoftware’s Elden Ring. Clearly, Baldur’s Gate 3 has exceeded all expectations, particularly those of developer Larian. Last week, Larian boss Swen Vincke said he told the developer’s IT team to expect 100,000 concurrent players max. Baldur’s Gate 3 is still the top-selling game on Steam by revenue. The huge PC launch [URL='https://twitter.com/LarAtLarian/status/1688273827615199234']is said to have boosted interest in the PlayStation 5 version[/URL], which is set to launch September 6 ([URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/microsoft-engineers-helping-get-baldurs-gate-3-split-screen-working-on-xbox-series-s']the Xbox version may or may not come out this year[/URL]). “Thank you everyone for all the love and support,” Vincke tweeted. “It brought a tear to many eyes and it's incredibly motivating for all of us.

Obviously it’s reviewed brilliantly ([URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-review-in-progress']IGN’s 9/10 Baldur's Gate 3 review included[/URL]), but it also benefits from heightened interest in D&D.
