Will Baldur’s Gate 3 be any good on PS5?

With less memory and weaker hardware to work with, squeezing this enormous CRPG onto console will be no easy task.

[shadowT]

This is a Preview of the Preview. "I think it’s reasonable to assume "

[Eonjay]

Seems awfully clickbaity don't you think?

[thorstein]

I call it clickbait so all 4 of their journalists will downvote my comment.

[Vengeance1138]

Clickbait much? How will it run? Near perfectly of course.

[just_looken]

umm no it will run it but they will half to work around the Igpu sense sony still wont give there playstation a real gpu and the controller will half to be worked in more.

But you might be one to think the ps5 is a 8k60fps gaming beast no doubt.

[Vengeance1138]

Ummmmmm no, you come off as some kind of PC elitist clown. A "real" GPU? Like what one of your $2000 PC ones?
Nothing at all wrong with PS5 specs it's beyond capable of running any game put out this gen. If games have performance issues it's on the devs end.
Work in the controller more? Because that's somehow a challenge?? No, it's not. A ton of Strategy, RTS etc titles on console have no problem with controller mapping.

But you might think the PS5 is a Series S no doubt.

[Flawlessmic]

Lol wtf are you even talking about 😂

Are you always so negative about everything lol

I'm playing this on pc about 35 hrs in, ps5 will run it just fine, maybe a few downgrades here and there but it'll be fine.

[Soulsborne]

Braindead is braindead.

[Eonjay]

*completely ignores that the PS5 GPU is more powerful than recommended specs for this this game*

[dumahim]

The recommended GPU on PC for this game is a 1060. That's not minimum. Recommended. PS5 has got it covered just fine.

[raWfodog]

I'll trust Larian who have already said that the game was running well on the PS5 and they were just trying to keep the fps steady at 60. Of course it will 'have' different GUI if you are using a controller but they've already confirmed that consoles will be able to use keyboard/mouse and play it like the PC version. Larian has proven that they have no problem developing their RPGs to run on consoles. No worries at all from me.

[shammgod]

That was a dumb response

[just_looken]

of course mass downvote

a real gpu has ram and vram to work with your ps5 does not.

i said it will run

you can get a gpu like ps5 has for $300usd max

but this site is full of sony blind boys

[OzzY-waZZy]

Can't fix stupid.

[Chevalier]

"of course mass downvote"

Because your comment is idiotic?! Game runs well on low spec Steamdeck even.

[raWfodog]

Your 'downvotes' are likely related to you insinuating that Larian's development issues are with the PS5 when it has already been clearly stated by Larian themselves that the current console issues lie squarely with the Series S platform. The PS5 and Series X have no GPU issues that have been reported by Larian. If you are worried about mass downvotes so much, then you wouldn't blatantly write misinformed comments.

[GamingManiac]

LOL learn English before trolling.

[myfathersbastard]

Yyyeeeeaaahh because people HAVEN’T been saying how well it actually plays with controller already on PC…..

[derek]

@just, a real gpu? I suppose all those great games are running on the "fake" gpu. Lol

[JeffGUNZ]

@ dumahim

What are you talking about? The recommended GPU is a 2060 super. I still think PS5 will run it, but this game is much more demanding then an aging 1060

[darthv72]

i imagine it will run it just fine. Heck... Steam Deck runs it (w/o split screen) and PS5 (and Series X|S) is more powerful than that.

[anast]

It will run great. It's the low to mid-tier PCs and the S, I would be most concerned about.

[repsahj]

You will be surprised that it will run great on PS5.

[Binarycode]

A last gen looking game would run easily on PS5.

At the title, Yes the Series s was a mistake.

[GaboonViper]

Divinity: Original Sin 1+2 ran fine on PS4 so i expect this to be the same with BD3 on PS5, Larian never miss.

[Vanfernal]

The minimum spec is a GTX 970... It will be fine.

[CrimsonWing69]

If Diablo, FF14, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity, and the original Baldur's Gate games are fine on PS4 and PS5... one, can infer that Baldur's Gate 3 will be fine as well...

I mean the game runs on a Steam Deck, do you think that's more powerful than a PS5? Do game's journalist do any kind of research or due diligence before they write some blog post? How do you get this job? Are there professional skill requirements?

[GoodGuy09]

Runs great even on low spec pcs and they did a great job with controller.

[Soulsborne]

First time dealing with Larian huh?

[Hofstaderman]

Ummmm….yes.

[isarai]

Why wouldn't it?

[Falloutxii]

I enjoyed divinity 2 so yeah they know what they're doing.

[Miacosa]

All signs point to yes with the exception of maybe the control schemes.

[Christopher]

Same controller scheme as what's on PC already. Same as what was on Divinity 2.

[phoenixwing]

Exactly as christopher is saying. I bought it in early access and the game doesn't magically change now that you have a ps5 version. Why would they change the controller inputs for ps5? The only difference between ps5 and pc versions are that someone may be able to increase their resolution or framerate more than you on a beefier graphics card. After spending who knows how much money on their pc

[Knightofelemia]

Wonder if the same article will come out when the game comes to Xbox?

[phoenixwing]

of course not. right now it generates clicks because xbox isn't getting it as soon as playstation.

[shadowfax33]

i haven't seen much of Baldur’s Gate 3, but isn't turn based combat?!
i wouldn't mind locked 30fps with native 4k and better graphics instead of 60fps.

[Sonic1881]

I haven't tried to play this game with a controller, so I really don't know.

[phoenixwing]

I play on a controller. It's great honestly.

[phoenixwing]

I'm going to make this quite simple for people who have a ps5. I own the game on pc. I play with a xbox controller on pc. It plays fine with a controller. You will have the same enjoyment as someone with a mid level gaming pc like mine. Except maybe they'll had haptic feedback to the ps5 controller. This article is dumb. The game doesn't magically change because it switched to ps5. The only reason this article was made is because of the console wars and xbox people feel left out because of the delay. This article is nothing but for clicks. Don't click the article website.

[DarkZane]

The PS5 can probably easily run the game at 4k/60fps with the equivalent of maxed settings on PC. It's really not a demanding game graphically.

[Shane Kim]

The game looks butt ugly graphically. Why wouldn't it?

[stefd75]

Let's see. My PC won't run it but PS5 which is better then my PC will run it so at this time I don't care how it runs as it will still run better then on my PC
