Baldur's Gate 3: A Global Phenomenon Breaking Top 60 Bestselling Games

Larian Studios launched Baldur's Gate 3 in early access in August 2020. Three years later, version 1.0 was released for PC and PS5, with the Xbox Series version following shortly thereafter. The game, based on the tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons (licensed from Hasbro Inc.), quickly garnered global attention and universal acclaim, resulting in numerous Game of the Year awards and establishing a significant victory for the independent studio. Larian now faces the challenge of following up on Baldur's Gate 3's success, having already sold over 20 million copies worldwide. In a recent Bloomberg interview, Larian's executive director, Swen Vincke, discussed the pressure to surpass expectations. One forum user described Baldur's Gate 3 as one of the most memorable games they can recall in detail. With over 20 million units sold in three years, Baldur's Gate 3 has already secured a place among the top 60 bestselling games of all time and is on track to enter the top 50.
