Baldurs Gate 3 recently received its final major patch, adding features like cross-play, photo mode, and new subclasses in addition to myriad bug fixes. While there may be future updates to address undiscovered bugs, Larian Studios has capped off its support for Baldurs Gate 3 in spectacular fashion. To mark the occasion, Steam and GOG have discounted copies of Baldurs Gate 3 for PC to just $47.99 (was $59.99), while the Xbox version is available digitally for $55.99 (was $69.99). This deal is available through April 24 and is the perfect opportunity to pick up one of the best CRPGs of the last decade, or pick up a copy for a friend if youre planning to get up to some co-op shenanigans.
Image: Larian Studios Baldurs Gate 3One of my wishes in life is that I had both enough IRL friends and enough time to play a D&D campaign. Alas, I do not have either, but Baldurs Gate 3 exists, which is probably the best consolation I could ever ask for in my situation. Larian Studios took on the storied series from BioWare, and delivered a massive, memorable, and highly personalized RPG worthy of the Baldurs Gate name.While the number of possibilities in Baldurs Gate 3 pales in comparison to the limitless customization of a homegrown D&D game, it should manage to surprise and delight players with its cast of characters, as well as the many story twists youll encounter (or be directly responsible for creating). The randomness of dice rolls, plus the games alternate storylines for, say, an evil Dark Urge campaign, should keep players entertained for many playthroughs to come. —Cameron Faulkner
