Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Just like that, Larian Studios is done with not just Baldur’s Gate 3, its smash hit 2023 roleplaying game, but with the franchise altogether. And I do mean done, as studio founder Swen Vincke said during a talk at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) t...
Needless to say, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a success beyond anybody’s wildest expectations, racking of GOTY awards and over 10 million in sales, so what’s next for the game’s developer Larian Studios? More content for Baldur’s Gate 3 followed by Baldur’s Gate 4, right? Strike while the iron’s hot! Well, about that… at a GDC 2024 panel, Larian CEO Swen Vincke made the surprising announcement that the company is moving on from Baldur’s Gate, Dungeons & Dragons, and the Forgotten Realms setting. That is to say, they aren’t making Baldur’s Gate 4 and there won’t even be any major […]
Have you ever been playing the roguelike shoot-em-up Vampire Survivors and thought it might be improved if the vampire elf Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3 were to show up? Well, something like that might be in the cards. Either that or Larian Studios CEO...
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has announced it’s working on official mod support for the award-winning RPG for both PC and consoles. This will roll out sometime in 2024, but in the meantime, the studio has responded to fans who have been les...
Baldur's Gate 3 sales have surpassed 10 million copies globally across all platforms, Larian's Director of Publishing has confirmed. That's what Michael '@Cromwelp' Douse posted on X yesterday when talking about official mod support coming to the game. Apparently, some players don't like the fact that Baldur's Gate doesn't officially support mods just yet, and Larian's Director of Publishing took to X to talk about the matter, thereby revealing that the game has sold "way over" 10 million copies. "We’ll be talking in depth about what our mod support will look like soon", Douse wrote on X. "Been working on […]
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios is keenly aware of the mods that exist for the Dungeons & Dragons-based role-playing game. They’re all unofficial, of course, living in the mod bank that is Nexus Mods—but not for long. The studio said that offi...
Baldur's Gate 3 is getting cross-platform official mod support this year, Larian Studios confirmed. Speaking on X/Twitter, Larian's director of publishing Michael Douse confirmed the studio has a robust, cross-platform plan for mod support which will be released later this year. The studio already has a system, but it needs additional work and testing before it can be released, but still, this is undoubtedly excellent news that is set to make the game even better, especially on consoles. We generally don’t talk about things til they’re ready, but as you may have read, we’re making an exception. We’ve been working […]
One of the biggest complaints about last year’s Game Awards was that the show did not let winners talk. Even when folks from Larian Studios got on the stage to accept the Game of the Year award for Baldur’s Gate 3, they were told to “wrap it up” and we...
A new Baldur's Gate 3 patch is now live on PC and consoles, bringing a massive number of new features, improvements, fixes, and more. Patch #6, which weighs around 17.3 GB on PC, introduces, among many things, new kissing animations with the chosen romance partner, new idle animations for some of the companions, and a ton of quality-of-life improvements, such as the ability to dismiss a recruited companion from the party while speaking with the companion the player wants to replace them with, prioritization of the avatar character as the main speaker in dialogues, reworked reflection scenes in the Elfsong […]
The next big update for Baldur’s Gate 3, Patch 6, is on its way and Larian is teasing some of the changes it will usher in. These include new Legendary Actions in Honour Mode, streamlined party management, the ability to prioritize your avatar as the “main speaker” so teammates won’t hog the conversation, and more. The patch will weigh in at a fairly meaty 21 GB, and will launch on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 simultaneously (Mac users will have to wait for a bit). Here’s a rundown of what Larian has teased for the patch thus far… Releasing […]

The makers of Baldur’s Gate 3 have made it pretty clear that the game won’t be coming to subscription services like Xbox Game Pass any time soon, saying they believe the amount they charge for the game is fair. Now in a new statement responding to Ubisoft saying we should get used to no longer owning games, Larian boss Swen Vincke has gone a step further. Vincke’s strikes an interesting position, going beyond the usual straightforward arguments about value, saying subscription services becoming dominant would reduce the vibrancy of the industry, as those who own the sub services would have […]
