If you somehow missed it, Baldur’s Gate 3 is now officially available on PC! And while it’s become quite the seller, topping Steam and GOG charts, it seems that all the hype and word of mouth on how good the game is doing may be affecting sales on consoles, as the title has become the #1 best-selling pre-order on the PlayStation Network.

As spotted by Gaming Industry Analyst, Benji-Sales, Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken over as the #1 best-selling pre-order on the PlayStation Network since its launch on PC last week. 

While the title may not sell as well as the PC version on consoles, it is still impressive to see what may be a sign of great success on the platform when it releases next month. 

Baldur’s Gate 3 is officially available on PC, with the PS5 version dropping on September 6. The Xbox Series version, on the other hand, currently has no release date, though it is expected to launch in early 2024. Larian Studio said they’d hope to have an update on its release date before the end of this year. The reasons for the delay were previously explained as the team needs more time to work around the Xbox Series S as they could not launch on the platform without split screen due to parity clauses.
