Baldur’s Gate 3 is out now on PC and PlayStation 5 and it’s in pole position for the Game of the Year awards after its near-flawless reception. The Xbox Series S|X version is coming before the end of the year, though Larian has not provided a concrete date yet.
The developer might also be looking into a potential retail global release of the PS5 version. This is already happening, albeit only in Japan.
