Baldur’s Gate 3 Physical Console Release Date Delayed

Mar 20, 2024 4:27 PM

The highly anticipated role-playing game Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, has experienced a delay for its physical console versions on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Originally slated for a release within an earlier timeframe, the physical editions are now expected to launch between April and May 2024 due to production issues. The console versions, particularly for Xbox, will come on four physical discs because the game's size was too large to fit onto three Blu-rays. On a positive note, the PC Deluxe Edition pre-orders have already commenced shipping. Baldur's Gate 3 has also been recognized as the most-played game on Steam Deck over the past year.

Why has the release of Baldur's Gate 3 physical console versions been delayed?

The launch of Baldur's Gate 3's physical console versions has been delayed due to production issues that have hindered the developer's ability to ship the game on time.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the sequel to the classic Baldur's Gate series and is based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system. This series is known for its expansive storylines, deep character customization, and strategic, turn-based combat. Baldur's Gate 3 promises to continue this legacy with a strong focus on storytelling and tactical gameplay, enriched with modern graphics and a multiplayer component that will likely attract both long-time fans and newcomers to the series.
