The gap is continually narrowing for Baldur’s Gate 3 as it approaches the record for concurrent players on Steam, currently held by Hogwarts Legacy. Avalanche Software’s Harry Potter-themed game struggled to retain its fan base and has lately declined significantly. Larian’s RPG is pretty fresh and is steadily growing its audience, even in the face of download issues on Valve’s platform. That said, Baldur’s Gate 3 recently crossed another crucial player count milestone, which means that the record is very close.

Baldurโ€™s Gate 3 Has Reached 875,343 Concurrent Players on Steam

According to SteamDB, Baldur’s Gate 3 has reached 875,343 concurrent players on Steam as of August 13. This is terrible news for Hogwarts Legacy, which has the title of Steam’s biggest launch in 2023. With the game having reached a peak of 879,308 players six months ago, the difference is now down to just a few thousand. It is not possible to say for sure that Larian’s RPG will break the record, but it is a fact that the rivalry between the two games is quite heated.

Both games did a pretty good job so far, but there is one more detail to pay attention to. Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently available on PC, with the PlayStation 5 version set to be released on September 6th. In contrast, Hogwarts Legacy initially debuted for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. Since Hogwarts was available on more platforms right from the beginning, it’s still too early to make an overall comparison.

Baldur’s Gate 3‘s strong launch this month resulted in successful review scores. The title dethroned The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom with an average Metacritic score of 97 and became the highest-rated game of 2023. The score of the Zelda entry, which fell to second place, is 96.
