In case you haven’t heard, Baldur’s Gate 3 is shaping up to be one of the most surprising hits of 2023. Over the past weekend, the game achieved a peak concurrent player count of over 800,000 users on Steam. For context, Larian Studio founder Swen Vincke predicted that the game could reach 100,000 peak concurrent users during its debut period, and that was a fairly optimistic prediction. Yet, for as impressive as Baldur’s Gate 3’s initial player count numbers have been, the game’s early sales figures may be even more notable.
