The highly anticipated release of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PlayStation 5 has fans eagerly awaiting its debut. Developed by Larian, this expansive RPG has already impressed PC gamers with its scope and ambition. The PS5 version will launch simultaneously with Starfield on Xbox and PC, slated for a September 6 release date at 5 pm BST UK launch time.

Pre-order customers can currently pre-load Baldur’s Gate 3 in preparation for its launch.

As the game’s size is approximately 108GB on the PS5, it is highly recommended that pre-loading is utilized.

The extensive file size of the game means that downloading and installing it fully could take a considerable amount of time, depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a highly immersive Dungeons and Dragons game that can be played either solo or with others.

As the game progresses, your character becomes increasingly corrupted and powerful. The story revolves around themes of loyalty, betrayal, sacrifice, survival, and the seduction of absolute power.

The game is set in the Forgotten Realms, where you and your party must navigate a complex web of conflicts involving devils, deities, and malevolent supernatural entities that will ultimately determine the fate of this fictional world.

Interest in the PS5 version of Baldur’s Gate 3 has grown since the game made its PC debut in early August.

In the weeks since launch, Baldur’s Gate 3 has racked up a hugely impressive 96% average score on Metacritic.

It’s currently tied with Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as a game of the year.
