If you told us at any point during the three-year-long Early Access period of Baldur's Gate 3 that it will outsell the likes of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5, we'd tell you to go back to sleep.
Alas, this is exactly the dream scenario that Larian Studios finds itself waking up to just as it forced Valve to steady the helm on Steam's servers after Baldur's Gate 3 launched on the PC last week.
Granted, this is based on pre-order numbers, but the fact remains that the pseudo-PS5-exclusive has this year's biggest first-party Sony title beat in terms of numbers - a reality that no one could've ever dreamed of, not even the developers themselves.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the frontrunner for this year's Game of the Year award. Although either one of Resident Evil 4, Diablo 4, andFinal Fantasy 16 could get nominated for the same award in December, Nintendo's magnum opus and presumed swan song for the Nintendo Switch has no rival - until now.
