Baldur’s Gate 3 Still Sees 100k Daily Players One Year After Release

Baldur’s Gate 3 will celebrate its one-year anniversary in August 2024. Despite its age, the RPG consistently attracts over 100k concurrent players on Steam each day, rivaling many live-service games.

Baldur’s Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, made a significant impact upon its release. It not only won the prestigious Game of the Year award but also redefined the perception of RPGs. At its peak, the game nearly reached one million concurrent players. Today, it continues to maintain a strong player base, with daily peaks exceeding 100k concurrent players.

According to data from SteamDB, the game recently peaked at over 112k players in a single day. This impressive number highlights the game’s enduring popularity. The actual daily player count is likely much higher, as this figure only represents concurrent players.

One key factor behind the game’s longevity is Larian Studios’ continued support. Unlike typical single-player games, Baldur’s Gate 3 receives regular updates, challenging the norms of live-service games.

This continuous support and the promise of future updates keep Baldur’s Gate 3 alive and thriving among RPG enthusiasts.
