At launch, we already knew that Baldur's Gate III was going to be a beast. As we reported last week, the game was hitting 500,000 players within 24 hours of release on Steam. Now, it has gone even further and reached a peak concurrent player count of 814,666.
For a return to a long-forgotten franchise, from a studio that is not the biggest, the launch of Baldur's Gate III is certainly one for the history books, as it has just drawn an insane amount of popularity.
People can't get enough of this D&D-inspired RPG, and so we could see the player count reach even higher. The critical response on Steam is 90% positive as well, so it's clear that players are enjoying the game. Keep an eye out for our review as it drops later this week.
