This is to avoid a period of high expectations such as Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty, etc. Larian Studio, which is developing Baldur’s Gate 3, explained the change in the release schedule through the Steam official page on the 30th. According to this, the PC version will be officially released on August 3, one month earlier than planned, and the PS5 version will be released on September 6, delayed by about a week. Regarding the reason for pulling the schedule for the PC version, the management explained that it was ‘a time to spend more time playing’. More specifically, it was decided to move it to a time that did not overlap with the anticipated release of an RPG in September. Larian Studio CEO Swen Vincke revealed the detailed reason through an interview with Kotaku, an overseas media outlet published on the 29th (local standard). “When we realized we couldn’t release both the PC and console versions at the same time, we started looking for other ways to present the game,” Vinke said. I found out that it is a very busy year” and decided that ‘August 3’ was an appropriate time for users to play the game while not distracting themselves. ▲ Baldur’s Gate 3 The Game Awards 2022 Trailer ( Video source: Larian Studio’s official YouTube channel), so the reason the release of the PS5 version was delayed by one week was to ensure stable 60 frame operation.
