BattleBit, Call of Duty, GTA 5, and Starfield have already been surpassed by Baldur’s Gate 3 as the most popular paid title on Steam. With the arrival of DnD-style customization and mechanics, as well as Paladins, Barbarians, Gnomes, and, of course, bear sex, Baldur’s Gate 3 has risen hundreds of places in the Steam sales chart, placing it third behind Valve’s own Steam Deck and the free-to-play gaming titan CSGO. That’s good news for Baldur’s Gate 3 and for all of us who want to visit the Forgotten Realms once more.
We can already bring you everything there is to know on Baldur’s Gate 3 races and Baldur’s Gate 3 classes, but while you’re preparing your ideal character and build, you can rest assured that when BG3 launches, you certainly won’t be playing it alone.
For the week ending Tuesday, June 27, Baldur’s Gate 3 was way down the Steam sales chart at number 77. Since then, Larian has hosted the Panel From Hell showcase, sharing more on Baldur’s Gate 3 abilities and of course the surprising romance scene between Astarion and the Druid Halsin.
Since then, Baldur’s Gate 3 has rocketed up the sales chart, and now, for the week ending Tuesday, July 17, sits at number three below only the Steam Deck and Counter-Strike Global Offensive. BattleBit is number four, while resurgent battle royale game Naraka Bladepoint takes the fifth spot. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is number nine, while Grand Theft Auto 5 sits at number 12.
As well as Baldur’s Gate 3 romance, we’ve also learned how BG3 wants you to toss your teammates – literally. There is definitely a lot to dig into once launch day arrives.
