Developer Larian Studios has provided specific times for when Baldur’s Gate 3 will go live across the world. After initially releasing in early access back in 2020, the anticipated RPG will fully launch on PC on August 3.

In addition, Larian reiterated that early access players cannot transfer their saves over to the full release for Baldur’s Gate 3. On Twitter, the developer added “so much has changed, it’s worth it to start fresh!”

Other Versions

Baldur’s Gate 3 was delayed on PS5, now arriving September 6 instead of late August. That also just happens to be when Starfield drops on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Speaking of Microsoft’s system, there is no release window for the RPG on Xbox Series X|S because of development issues with Xbox Series S. Larian has said Baldur’s Gate 3’s split-screen is essential to the game, and it’s this feature that’s causing issues on Xbox Series S.
