Baldur’s Gate 3 is the talk of the town at the moment, what with yesterday - October 6 -marking the very first day of the game’s Early Access phase. So far, things are going more than swimmingly, it seems.
It also looks like the team at Larian really didn’t expect to see the sheer level of traction their game is getting. “Now what are we going to do?” Vincke jokingly despairs.
Not only are the initial sales for the game going above and beyond the devs’ expectations, but they also managed to break Steam just a lil thanks to the immense traffic the game brought to the digital storefront at its launch. As of right now, it’s still sitting at the number one spot on the best selling games lists on both Steam and GOG. The game has also peaked at 73,980 concurrent players on Steam today, making it the 14th most-played game on the platform at the moment.
That is, indeed, insane. Especially considering this is an Early Access game being sold at its full price of around $60.
