Portrait Mode in Baldur’s Gate 3: The Curious 9:16 Viewing Trend
TL;DR
Larian Studios shared data showing about 9,008 players ran Baldur’s Gate 3 in 9:16 portrait mode and 114 in 1:1, prompting a playful exploration of why players choose portrait framing (phone habits, isometric layout, or monitor orientation). The piece also highlights other stats—roughly 500 million mods downloaded, the Zevlor NPC dying 12.31 million times, more non‑Dark Urge players killing Alfira, and under 1% collecting all 180,000 gold—inviting readers to share their reasons for portrait or square play.
