Update: Benji-Sales has now confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 3 has surpassed Madden 24 as the most pre-ordered game on PS5. Below is the story as it was originally reported.
Baldur’s Gate 3 has become one of the most pre-ordered games on the PS5 after already reaching the milestone of being one of the most-played games on Steam. Since its release, we can’t stop talking about Baldur’s Gate 3. The game quickly took the world under its influence, and it’s currently the game. Ironically, even the game’s developer, Larian Studios, didn’t expect that much attention, and now it’s preparing to spread the virus on PS5. Baldur’s Gate 3 was primarily released on PC and is on the way to PS5 early next month, with pre-orders beginning earlier in July.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Is The Second Most Pre-Ordered Game on PS5
The point to focus on this success is that it was achieved after the game’s release on PC. The pre-orders weren’t much before the PC debut, which leads us to attributing the PC sales as an excellent promotion for the players expecting Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5. The game is still behind Madden NFL 23, but this could change. The game’s PS5 version is releasing on September 6, so there’s still a month to go, and the game has a chance to beat Madden NFL 23 on the most pre-ordered games page according to Benji-Sales.
If you’re one of the fans realizing how much chatter you’ve been hearing about Baldur’s Gate 3, you’re not alone. The game did an incredible launch this week, hitting 721K concurrent players at its peak. While the PC’s current most popular game is arriving on PS5 a month later, things are complicated for Xbox versions. You can pre-order it digitally and automatically put it into your downloads to play instantly on launch day. Before the game’s release, early access was offered for PC users. The same will also happen on PS5; the Digital Deluxe version’s pre-orderer holders will dive into the early access on September 3.
