To say that Baldur's Gate 3 made an impact upon launch would be an understatement.

As reported by TheGamer, Baldur's Gate 3 is still seeing over 100,000 thousand players frequently. While the player count has naturally dropped from the 875,000 that it saw upon launch, the game still sees spikes of 100,000 players every weekend and has done so consistently since launch. These numbers put the game above other big hits released this year, as well as displaying a player retention rate greater than the likes of Elden Ring, all without any DLC. Instead, what brings players back to Baldur's Gate 3, and what keeps them there, is an unfathomably large world with a myriad of choices that it would take hundreds of hours to experience it all.
