Released almost two weeks ago, Baldur’s Gate 3 is still on everyone’s lips. From its hundreds of quests to its universe, through all the options available to players in terms of customization, choice and combat, the title has seduced. But it goes far beyond Larian’s expectations.
Baldur’s Gate 3: a strong contender for Game of the Year
What a year for video games! We are only in August, and the titles that have marked the year are already numerous. From the remake of Dead Space to that of Resident Evil 4 via Street Fighter 6, Diablo IV and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there is very clearly something to occupy us for hundreds of hours, and this is not finished.
In three weeks, some space will have to be made for Starfield, which is one of the titles the most anticipated of recent years. In between, another game, rated 97/100 on Metacritic, arrived. This is obviously Baldur’s Gate III, which even offered itself the luxury of see your aggregate score increase as the reviews are published.
After tkings years of early access and 2.6 million copies sold, the game was officially released on PC on August 3rd. He immediately invested in X (Twitter), Twitch and YouTube, and the traffic figures presented by Steam showed that Larian’s RPGfrom the Dungeons & Dragons universe, was a hit.
A week ago, Baldur’s Gate 3 was the second most played game on Steam, peaking at 814,666 players on Sunday August 6. It has since remained very high, and still occupies the second place most played games on the platform. However, we did not imagine that this peak of 814,666 players could be beaten, even with the progressive publications of the tests. And yet!
The number of simultaneous players is still climbing!
Last night, around 9 p.m., Baldur’s Gate 3 got even closer to 900,000 concurrent players. Also according to SteamDB, they were 875,343 to explore role-playing in the eveningand they would currently be around 430,000 currently trying to get rid (or not) of their illithid larva. Enough to make the eyes of all the employees of Larian Studios shine, who have worked hard for six years to bring this adventure to life. To celebrate the first week, the studio has released a whole host of stats representative of the experience and success of the game.
We know, for example, that as of August 11, players had already passed 1125 years on Baldur’s Gate 3 and that 368 of them have already seen the end credits. In more than 90% of cases, players preferred to create their own character, and among those who chose an original character, it was Gayle who won the vote.
More amusing, we note that 815,000 NPCs have been sent to life, while 1.4 million corpses spoke. And since we are there, remember that some animals can receive petting, and that the dog Gratouille has already had 750,000. We are waiting to discover the number of games sold on PC, but we are also looking at the side of the September 6when Baldur’s Gate 3 will be released on PS5.
