Baldur’s Gate 3 closes in on million-player peak as popularity surge continues
Baldur’s Gate 3 hit a new all-time peak concurrent player record today, surpassing 875,000 players online on Aug. 13, a little over a week after its official release date, as the Dungeons & Dragons game’s immense success continues to snowball.
The Larian Studios title has the seventh-highest number of peak players in the history of Steam, at the time of writing, passing the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, Goose Goose Duck, and Apex Legends. It’s trailing behind New World, Elden Ring, Dota 2, Lost Ark, CSGO, and PUBG, but if things keep up, it could overtake some too.
