In an exciting development for RPG enthusiasts and fans of the acclaimed series, Larian Studios has officially announced the release of the physical edition of Baldur's Gate 3, set to arrive in the first quarter of 2024. The best part? It's cheap.
Baldur's Gate 3: Deluxe Edition will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X, which comes as a delight to CRPG fans who value physical copies of their favourite titles.
Priced at a competitive 79.99 £/€, the physical edition of Baldur's Gate 3 is a fulfillment of a promise made by Larian to its fans following the initial and surprising award-winning success of the threequel. The Deluxe Edition stands out for its playability-on-disc feature. The PlayStation 5 version will include two discs, while the Xbox variant boasts three discs to accommodate the game's expansive content. PC gamers are not left behind, as their version will consist of a custom installer and a Steam key, ensuring a comprehensive gaming experience.
Michael Douse, Larian's Director of Publishing, expressed the company's excitement about this venture, emphasizing a rare understanding of the value of physical media. He acknowledged the challenges associated with the archiving of a game as massive as Baldur's Gate 3 and conveyed Larian's commitment to experimenting with physical releases, even if it requires an extensive number of discs. This forward-thinking approach is evident in the studio's decision to sell the physical Deluxe Edition exclusively on the Larian store, where it is already available for pre-order.
