Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to defy expectations and break records, establishing itself as a dominant force in the world of video games. Our glowing review of Baldur’s Gate 3 is a testament to the game’s exceptional quality and the hard work invested in its creation. This is further supported by the game’s overwhelming success on Steam and the internet as a whole.
I’ve personally invested approximately 30 hours into the game, with my initial focus being on selecting my race and class in Baldur’s Gate 3. I can confidently say that this game is an extraordinary masterpiece. The wider internet community shares this sentiment, as evidenced by the staggering number of players on Steam. The statistics speak for themselves.
If you were already impressed by the initial success of Baldur’s Gate 3, prepare to be amazed once again. The game’s popularity continues to surpass all expectations. It has reached a peak concurrent player count of 712,281, a significant increase of 200,000 since its launch earlier this week. Will BG3 reach one million players? Only time will tell.
But that’s not all. Baldur’s Gate 3 has achieved the impossible by surpassing Valve’s CSGO as the top global seller on Steam (although not in terms of concurrent players). Yes, you read that right. Right now, Baldur’s Gate 3 sits at the pinnacle of the Steam charts. The iconic bear scene reveal from Larian’s adventure propelled the game’s early access to new heights, and the momentum has now carried BG3 all the way to the top.
When BG3 reached 500,000 concurrent players, game director Swen Vincke humorously remarked that the IT team should avoid him for a while, as he had only expected a maximum of 100,000 players. Well, sorry, Vincke, but we’ve shattered your expectations (don’t worry, it’s for a good reason).
In addition, BG3 has caused multiple online platforms and forums to crash due to the sheer number of players participating. This serves as a testament to the fact that single-player experiences are still highly desired, which shouldn’t come as a surprise.
While it’s unlikely that Baldur’s Gate 3 will remain at the top of the Steam charts indefinitely, the enormous number of concurrent players is nonetheless incredibly impressive. To provide some context, Cyberpunk 2077 peaked at over one million players during its launch, and Elden Ring reached an incredible 950,000 players last year. BG3 is making remarkable progress in catching up to these giants on Steam.
If, like me, you are new to the world of BG3 and D&D and desire some historical background, we have all the Baldur’s Gate 3 lore you’ll ever need. Furthermore, we can provide you with everything you need to know about Baldur’s Gate 3’s maximum level to help you ascend the ranks.
