What do you think will happen when one of the most-cherished CRPG franchises in gaming history gets a sequel 20 years later? Big sales numbers, that’s what.

Baldur’s Gate 3 just released today (after a long Early Access period); it came out about 17 hours ago at this time of writing. It already has massive sales numbers that surpass the likes of Resident Evil 4 Remake and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. On Steam, the game has an overwhelming positive rating with 100,000+ reviews to back up its claim. The CRPG sequel made by Larian Studios is being played by 472,136 players overall.

It is right now the second most-played game right now on Steam and PC, the first being Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Not bad for a debut! Check out the full data here. 

We’re currently playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and so far it’s shaping up to be one of this year’s best RPGs for PC players. Stay tuned for more coverage on the game.
