Unleashing Epic Adventures: Baldur's Gate 3 Players Set Sky-High Goals This Weekend

Highlights

Baldur's Gate 3 has already achieved impressive success, with peak concurrent players reaching over 800,000 and accounting for 27.5% of all playtime on Steam at one point.

The game's community is mobilizing players in an effort to achieve the impressive milestone of one million concurrent players on Steam. This accomplishment would firmly establish it as one of the top-played games on the platform. Although it remains uncertain whether Baldur's Gate 3 will naturally attain this goal, the game has already garnered recognition as a distinctive and exceptional release, and the developers would appreciate any additional support from the players.

The RPG community of Baldur's Gate 3 is striving to surpass one million concurrent players on Steam this weekend. The game's developers and everyone else have been astonished by its remarkable success. With millions of copies sold and close to one million concurrent players, Baldur's Gate 3 has already achieved great heights. However, the game's community is determined to push further and gather more players in order to reach the milestone of one million concurrent players on Steam.

Even if all players were to suddenly stop playing Baldur's Gate 3 tomorrow, it would still be considered an incredibly impressive accomplishment. Despite being exclusively available for PC, Baldur's Gate 3 has already made a significant impact. On Sunday, August 6, the game reached a peak of 814,666 concurrent players, according to Steam's player tracking. As if that weren't impressive enough, reports indicate that Baldur's Gate 3 accounted for 27.5% of all playtime on Steam on August 6. It is a game that few others can compare to.

Baldur's Gate 3 players are now rallying together in an effort to achieve a remarkable feat. The community is calling on all players to log in and play between noon and 7:00 PM PT on Saturday, August 12, with the aspiration of reaching one million concurrent players on Steam.

This endeavor does not come with any rewards and is not endorsed by Larian, the developer of Baldur's Gate 3. Instead, it stems from a devoted group within the game's community who believe that reaching this milestone will solidify its position as one of the most popular games on Steam. Currently ranked 9th for lifetime concurrent player totals, Baldur's Gate 3 would surpass Elden Ring and come just below Cyberpunk 2077, claiming the 6th spot if the player count reaches one million.

There may not be a need to actively strive for one million concurrent players for Baldur's Gate 3. It is possible that the game will naturally attract such a sizable player base. Unlike games like Cyberpunk 2077, which peak in popularity and then decline, or games like Elden Ring, which initially garner attention but quickly lose momentum, Baldur's Gate 3 has the potential to be a game that gains momentum through positive word of mouth and reviews.

Regardless of whether it can achieve one million concurrent players on Steam or not, Baldur's Gate 3 has already established itself as a unique and exceptional game release. It has proven its worth and doesn't need to prove anything further. However, if Baldur's Gate 3 players decide to play during the time period of noon to 7:00 PM PT on this Saturday, Larian Studios would appreciate the additional boost towards the goal of reaching one million concurrent players on Steam.

Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC.
