Larian Studios has announced that Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available for PlayStation 5. Originally released for the PC on August 3 following a lengthy early access period, the console version of the critically acclaimed RPG has been reported to feature very good controller support, allowing DualSense users to access the game’s countless actions and spells almost as easy as those on mouse and keyboard. Baldur’s Gate 3 is expected to come to Xbox later this year, featuring split-screen co-op on the Series X and cross-save support between the PC, PS5, and Xbox versions of the game.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a next-generation RPG from the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2, set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons and providing a level of breadth and depth unprecedented in a modern RPG.
More than twenty years after the release of Baldur’s Gate 2, it’s finally time to return to the Forgotten Realms. Your choices shape this tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power.
Choose from 12 classes and 11 races from the D&D Player’s Handbook and forge an identity of your own design, or play as an Origin hero with a hand-crafted background – like the Dark Urge, a fully customisable Origin character with its own unique mechanics and blood-soaked story. Whoever you choose to be, adventure, loot, battle and romance your way across the Forgotten Realms and beyond.
Gather your party and take the adventure online as a party of up to four. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, together you will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms.
