PS5 pre-orders for Baldur's Gate 3 have now surpassed Spider-Man 2 on the Playstation Store, as Larian's latest RPG hits a peak concurrent player count of 800,000 on Steam.
If you thought things would quickly simmer down once the initial hype wore off, you thought wrong. Baldur’s Gate 3 has continued to explode in popularity, almost doubling that all-time player peak in just a few days.
Over the weekend, more than 800,000 people – 814,666 to be precise – were playing Baldur’s Gate 3 at once, pushing it into Steam’s top 10 most played games of all time. Baldur’s Gate 3’s all-time player peak has it in 9th place, beating out popular multiplayer games like Apex Legends, Call Of Duty, and Among Us.that Baldur’s Gate 3’s early access launch saw more than 2.5 million copies sold, but has yet to share sales figures beyond that.
Given how many people are playing it, though, it’s safe to assume that the game’s proving profitable. It’s certainly far more than Vincke expected, admitting he expected the concurrent player count to reach 100,000 at most. Probably should stay away from the IT team for a while – told them they should expect like 100k or so at max
