It's been over a year since the absolute GOTY 2023 Baldur's Gate 3 released, and yet things seem to be doing better than ever. A truly phenomenal achievement for Larian Studios.
Released in August 2023 in Early Access for PC and later for PS5 and Xbox Series, Baldur's Gate 3 continues to delight Larian Studios. The title is now rightly considered one of the best C-RPGs of all time and has also been heavily refined since its release, especially thanks to the saving patch 7, which brings full support for mods on PC and consoles. So much so that the number of active players in the game has never been as high as it is today.
Baldur's Gate 3 continues to be unstoppable, especially thanks to mods
While Larian Studios no longer plans to add new content to Baldur's Gate 3, with the exception of updates like the current PS5 Pro patch, its latest masterpiece still stands on its own two feet. With a huge community, it can actually count on passionate modders to provide it with almost unlimited longevity. Exciting new fan-made features are released regularly, such as: B. Quality of life features, graphical improvements, new classes and more.
Thanks to the expert work of Larian Studios and the support of its community, Baldur's Gate 3 seems to be running better than ever. At least that's what Michael Douse, publishing director at Larian, says. On his X.com account, the man shared uplifting numbers for the absolute GOTY 2023. “ Some fun data I dug up: Our daily top players are up 3% this year compared to last year. The number of our active users has increased by 20% compared to last year. The average daily player count on Steam Deck has increased by 61% compared to 2023 ».
Michael Douse always praises the existence of mods, which definitely contribute to the seemingly inexhaustible success of Baldur's Gate 3. We can bet that these numbers will be maintained over time, thanks again to the unwavering support of the modders who are able to offer us, let's be crazy, a DLC that Larian will never develop. The independent studio is currently working on two brand new games, which we are of course monitoring very closely. Meanwhile, the illithid larvae in Baldur's Gate 3 are obviously very well guarded.
