The day before yesterday, the developers announced that 1.0 edition of Baldur’s Gate 3 will be released on August 31 this year. A pleasant surprise was the announcement that the game will also be coming to PlayStation 5 on the same day.

If the developers manage to solve them quickly, the The XSX/S version could also debut on August 31, but as of now the developers don’t know if that will happen.
