Larian Update on Deluxe Edition Physical Copies of Baldur's Gate 3

Larian tweeted: "🎉 Deluxe Edition Shipping Update! 🎉

Pre-orders for the @baldursgate3
PC Deluxe Edition are now shipping, with console editions expected to begin shipping between April and May.

We wanted to get the console versions into the hands of players earlier, however, production issues have meant that shipping dates have been pushed back slightly.

Those waiting for their Xbox version will now receive 4 physical discs, rather than the 3 originally planned, so that we can provide the full game as a physical copy.

(Yes, it is that big).

While we don't expect any further delays, we will continue to keep you updated on when console versions are ready.

To find out when your pre-order will ship, please keep an eye on your emails!"

Why isn't the game getting a normal physical release like every other game? Why can we only get it from them and them alone? Too expensive as well, I don't want all that crap that comes with it, just let me buy a standard version from somewhere like Amazon.

yea i thought the same thing ha.

Likely an effort to keep more profits for themselves without having to paying shipping and shelf space costs to retailers.

Tacoboto407d ago

Yep - that $20 shipping fee definitely pads the packaging and their wallets

So the PlayStation release now got delayed because the xbox version needed an extra disk.

Thanks Microsoft for your commitment to making things worse for everyone because your console is inferior.

Its not ms fault sony owns bluray tech which allows for higher capacity discs on the cheap xbox does not have that luxury.

Einhander1972406d ago

Sony doesn't own Blu-ray, and xbox has Blu-ray they just chose to use an interior version of it for their disks.

The last part was extra. But he's telling the truth.

This sucks. They should send my $106 dollars back then, until its ready. Waiting to play 🫠. Definitely should've had a regular retail release.

Only one game is more popular than Oblivion Remastered on Steam Deck right now

Perhaps performance issues with the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster on Steam Deck stopped it from claiming the top spot right away.

It doesn't work on the Steam Deck. Go read the reviews before 'you' sell stuff.

What? Do you have a Deck? I’ve got both of ESO:R and BG3 on my Deck and they play fine.

If Starfield could run on the Steam Deck OLED I used to own then I know this can, lol
