Baldur's Gate 3 Shifts Release Date to Avoid Starfield Clash

Larian Studios has announced a change in the release schedule for Baldur's Gate 3, with the PC version launching on August 3, almost a month earlier than planned, while the PlayStation 5 version has been pushed back to September 6. The decision to move the PC release forward was made to avoid competition with other highly anticipated RPGs like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 DLC. The studio is prioritizing a stable 60 FPS framerate for the PS5 version, which is why it will launch later, while the Xbox Series X/S version is still in development. Larian has clarified that the Xbox version's delay is not due to any exclusivity deal but rather the challenges of optimizing splitscreen co-op for the less-powerful Xbox Series S.
