Came.early.than expected.glad.I.waited

 

[stn]

I'm in! Was waiting for this to finally get the game.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

What? Pics lol

 

[Sleepwalker]

Lmao!

 

[MaestroMike]

I'm in, but which version is the one to get: xbox or playstation ?

 

[j0hnnix]

3 dicks... For xbox..

 

[FoxMcChief]

Now I’m interested.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Get it on GOG. It's DRM free there.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Very nice release, hopefully there's enough copies for all interested in owning a retail version. And kudos for offering multiple discs. I absolutely hate when a large game is released on a single disc and you need to download like 80 or more gigs of data.

 

[StereoVsn]

Is there any word of KBM support on PS5 or Xbox?

Super tempted by this, full on game on disks, extras, etc… but that $110-120 including shipping kind of bites .

 

[Portugeezer]

Deluxe only, and shipping? Nah, I'm good.

 

[dotnotbot]

Game is available DRM free on GOG. One DVD with Steam key? Really? They could've given us GOG version at least which you can download and then archive any way you want.

 

[Krappadizzle]

 

[Mercador]

Yeah, it makes more sense that way. I couldn't believe it works from disk.

 

[DKehoe]

Love the game but can’t say there’s anything in that I’m desperate to get.

 

[FatallyYours]

Rumor is, the 3rd xbox disc is 100% engagement

 

[Physiognomonics]

I am probably getting this for my collection. This will probably have interesting resale value after some time. It's not like they are going to print million of those.

 

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

This will be my first physical game on Xbox Series X. Quite likely the only one I ever get, but seems like a pretty good deal, even with the steep shipping charge.

 

[DaGwaphics]

They should have waited a little while longer as they worked on the Series S version... prob could have figured out how to get them all on single disc.

Because, you know how the XSS users are always going for those deluxe, physical editions.

Nice to see the limited releases for games that didn't make a big push with the disks, at least the collectors that really value these have the option.

Oh Larian is totally ripping us off...but as it's one of the best RPGs in years, they can (probably) afford to.

 

[Eliciel]

Why is it 2 discs on PS5 and 3 on XSX? Did I miss something?

 

[Kataploom]

Oh, they'll finally finish the game

 

[Mister Wolf]

Superior compression tech.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

FYI

 

[crackajack]

My guess would be the XSS version is so different from XSX that it basically is practically a different game, requiring a lot of smaller adapted assets. (Edit: totally forgot that the S has no drive so that thought is nonsense /e)

Physical steam version is kinda a contradiction in itself for some time now. Even if there is still a full install on the disc, when did the last game not require a full game size patch right after.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That 3rd disc Xbox Tax though

 

[Physiognomonics]

Xbox don't make 100GB discs while Playstation do.

 

[Mephisto40]

So the PC disc version is literally just a steam key that activates when you put the disc in your PC and then it has to download the whole game from steam anyway

 

[R6Rider]

Might grab the Deluxe Edition.

 

[Eru Ilúvatar]

[mckmas8808]

Guess I'm answering myself XD. Physical release is exclusive to their store.

I hate that it's only available through their personal store. But that's better than nothing, I guess.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Yeah, it makes more sense that way. I couldn't believe it works from disk.

Most likely meaning no updates. I think any XSX or XS game NEEDS to be installed because of how the system needs the SSD

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This thread is so god damn hard to find that I have to google it. That said, Larian has provided an update on the build version that will be shipped on the disc(s):

I posted the same tweet in a different thread lol.

Maybe we should all move to the OT, at least it's centralized.

 

[FrankWza]

What's the deal with the first wave and second wave PS5? I saw someone post that they're up to wave 2 but on the listing it still shows availability for the first wave.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Maybe I missed this but on the PS5/X, does the game install enough to just need to put in one disc or are we looking at swapping?

 

[Celcius]

First FF7 Rebirth and now this. Era of 2 disk PS5 games getting started?

These are some of the biggest games of all time.

Isn't Forbidden West the "whatever the complete edition is called" two discs as well?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yup! The first double disc release on PS5.

Deluxe Edition Shipping Update!

Pre-orders for the @baldursgate3 PC Deluxe Edition are now shipping, with console editions expected to begin shipping between April and May.

We wanted to get the console versions into the hands of players earlier, however, production issues have meant that shipping dates have been pushed back slightly.

Those waiting for their Xbox version will now receive 4 physical discs, rather than the 3 originally planned, so that we can provide the full game as a physical copy.

(Yes, it is that big).

While we don't expect any further delays, we will continue to keep you updated on when console versions are ready.

To find out when your pre-order will ship, please keep an eye on your emails!
