While fans have been waiting years for the full version of the game, they have technically been able to play a decent chunk of Baldur's Gate 3 for quite some time. 23 years after the release of the second game, Baldur's Gate 3's release date is nearly upon us, and hype for the massive-scale RPG couldn't be any higher. Larian Studios has confirmed some things that Baldur's Gate 3 players should do before the game's launch on August 3, namely deleting the early accession version of the game they have on their PC along with any of its associated save files and mods. While PC gamers can play Baldur's Gate 3 on August 3, the PS5 version will release on September 6, and there is currently no release date for the Xbox version.The highly-anticipated RPG has a massive file size of 122 GB, so players will need to plan accordingly for the download.Before the launch of Baldur's Gate 3 on August 3, players should delete the early access version, along with their save files and mods to ensure a smooth installation of the full game.

Good to hear! I didn't try early access (too many other games in the queue), and CyberPunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is shipping about a week later. Thankfully I also have a PC and have been able to play since launch, but I'm looking forward to playing on Mac again soon! I'm not sure how it'll shake out with the full release, but in early access my M1 Mac Studio ran BG3 noticeably smoother than my decently specced PC (RTX 2080, 32 GB RAM, etc).

Those of us who'd been playing on Mac in early access were pretty surprised by the delay and then we were just kept in limbo for weeks. On the other hand: it'll be nice to play with the 3 major and 5 (or 6) hot-fixes already in place, and hopefully tested with the Sonoma release candidate.įully agree, communication was remarkably poor for Mac release. It just wasn't available launch day and then almost silent since except a vague statement about releasing later in September (2.5 week delay). Larian hasn't been very good at communicating about the Mac release delay.
