Level Up Your Collection: Baldur’s Gate 3 Deluxe Edition Preorders Now Available
Exciting news for enthusiasts of physical media! Larian Studios is basking in the success of Baldur's Gate 3, having proudly earned seven prestigious awards at the recent Golden Joysticks and an impressive eight nominations for The Game Awards later this year. Adding to the thrill, the studio is excited to introduce the Baldur's Gate 3: Deluxe Edition for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, poised to grace the shelves in Q1 2024, with a tempting price tag of $79.99 USD.
Console gamers are in for a treat with the Deluxe Edition, promising an immersive experience directly from the disc – two for PS5 and an impressive three for Xbox Series X, ensuring ample space for the epic adventure. PC players fear not! Your version has a DVD featuring a custom installer and a convenient Steam key.
Michael Douse, Director of Publishing at Larian, states, "This experiment is what we feel the future of physical media looks like, at least for us at Larian. We spent the last few months learning how to do it from scratch and put everything we learned from the Collector’s Edition into what we hope is unbeatable value for what we’re considering our standard physical version going forward. If it works out, we’ll keep doing it this way. We understand the value of physical media, and while there are clearly increasingly significant challenges when it comes to the archiving of games, we truly believe it’s worth experimenting, even if it means a fuck-ton of discs."
Excitingly, Baldur's Gate 3: Deluxe Edition is exclusively available on Larian's dedicated store, and it's important to note that it's not a Collector's Edition, alleviating concerns for those who miss the initial release.
While all Deluxe Editions are scheduled to ship in Q1 2024, Larian hints at the release date for the much-anticipated Xbox digital version of Baldur's Gate 3, set to be unveiled at The Game Awards on December 7.
