Soon, the game will also be available for consoles, starting with the release of the PS5 version. Mark your calendars as the long-awaited PS5 version of Baldur's Gate 3 is set to launch on September 6.

The PlayStation mobile app recently provided incorrect information about the release date of Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5. Despite this, the game has received highly positive reviews, creating anticipation among PS5 gamers who are eager to play it on their preferred platform. Baldur's Gate 3 holds a prominent position in Steam's history, boasting a concurrent player count of over 800,000 this week. Furthermore, the game will soon be accessible to an even larger audience as it is scheduled to launch on consoles. While both PS5 and Xbox versions are planned, the PS5 release will occur first.

Recently, many users received notifications from the official PlayStation mobile app regarding a new release date for Baldur’s Gate 3. However, despite the official notification, the release plans for Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 have not changed. PS5 players can still expect to access BG3 on September 3 through the Digital Deluxe Edition's early access launch or on September 6 for the general audience.

PlayStation gamers are showing significant interest in Larian Studio's latest title, Baldur's Gate 3. Following the successful launch on PC, pre-orders for the PS5 version of the game have experienced a significant surge. Currently, Baldur's Gate 3 stands as the most pre-ordered PS5 game, surpassing other popular titles like Mortal Kombat 1 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2. This positions it as one of the most highly anticipated PS5 games in 2023.

With the game now available on PC, many players are curious about the future of the franchise and what Larian Studios has planned. Swen Wicke, the boss at Larian, recently expressed the team's interest in working on another Divinity title in the future. However, he did not confirm if gamers could expect a DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 or a sequel in the near future. Wicke mentioned that the studio plans to take a break after the current game, as the developers have been continuously working since the release of Divinity: Original Sin 2. Nevertheless, players can look forward to updates for the game, as well as its release for PS5 and subsequently the Xbox Series X/S, which currently lacks an official launch date.

Baldur's Gate 3 is out now for PC with a PS5 version releasing on September 6. An Xbox version is also in development.
