That said, we didn’t have an exact release date. Well, tonight at The Game Awards, the Baldur’s Gate 3 cleaned up, winning Game of the Year and... it was also quietly released on Xbox without the expected big flashy announcement. Yup, that's right, the game is available to download […]

Buying super special “collector’s editions” of video games can be like heading into treacherous waters. These often-expensive boxes full of goodies (and also a video game) tend to sell out pretty quickly, and then you’re more likely to find them for do...
PS Plus Premium subscribers can play the first two hours of Larian's hit title for free through the new Baldur's Gate 3 trial on PS5. Subscribers of Sony's highest PS Plus tier can try out recent titles on PlayStation 5, and as of today, Baldur's Gate 3 is one of those recent releases that subscribers can try out.

After this trial period, the game can no longer be played, but luckily, game save data and […]
Baldur’s Gate 3 already has one special edition, in the form of its Collector’s Edition. We even unboxed it here at Kotaku, and it’s got a lot of cool knickknacks that pay tribute to its tabletop roots. Of course that was expensive, solely for PC and P...
Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the best games of 2023, but if you’ve wanted to give the game a place of honor on your shelf, you’ve been out of luck – it’s digital-only.

And Larian is taking the physical aspect of the game seriously – on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, you’ll be able to play the game fully offline via the code on the discs (2 discs for PS5, 3 for XSX). On PC, you’ll get a key and a […]

Baldur's Gate 3 has already received many updates and improvements since its early August launch, thanks to four major patches and several smaller hotfixes. The community is always eager to spot what may be coming next. Over the weekend, Reddit user W0lferino93 shared an image of a new achievement that appeared on GOG. Titled Foehammer, it would be rewarded for completing the game in Honor Mode, except there currently is no such a mode. Larian fans are certainly familiar with the mode. In Divinity: Original Sin 2, it's a modifier that can be applied to any difficulty. Akin to 'Iron […]
