Baldur’s Gate 3, the highly anticipated D&D role-playing game by Larian, is scheduled to be released on September 2 for PlayStation 5. However, the release is only applicable to users who pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition for £65.99. If you have pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition, you can start playing the game at 5 pm BST UK time on Saturday afternoon. On the other hand, users who have purchased the Standard Edition will have to wait until September 6, when the game will launch at 5 pm BST UK time.

Pre-loading Baldur’s Gate 3

Digital Deluxe customers can now pre-load Baldur’s Gate 3 to prepare for the launch day. However, it’s worth noting that the game has a massive file size of around 108GB on the PS5 platform. Hence, pre-loading is highly recommended to avoid delays on launch day. With such a huge file size, the download and installation process could take a significant amount of time, depending on your internet speeds. Therefore, it’s crucial to plan accordingly and allocate sufficient time for the pre-loading process.

The Ultimate D&D Experience

Baldur’s Gate 3 is an immersive Dungeons & Dragons game that offers both single and multiplayer modes. The game’s plot revolves around your character’s transformation into a monster due to a corrupting influence inside you, which also grants you enhanced abilities as it grows. The game offers an engaging story that involves themes of camaraderie, betrayal, sacrifice, survival, and the temptation of absolute power. The adventure takes place in the Forgotten Realms, and your actions will determine its fate, with devils, deities, and malevolent supernatural entities all vying for control.

The PS5 version of Baldur’s Gate 3 has garnered significant interest since its debut on PC in early August. The game has received an impressive 96% average score on Metacritic in the weeks following its release, putting it on par with the highly acclaimed Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as a contender for game of the year.
