Having first heard confirmation that Baldurs Gate 3 was in development back in late 2018, there has been a lot of anticipation surrounding this (long overdue) release from the franchise. Earlier this year, however, we did get the news that it would initially be released on PC in an ‘early access’ build. So, on the plus side, we would be able to try it out before it officially hit it’s 1.0.
Well, following an update to the game’s official Steam page, we have a lot of new developments. Not only is the game set to be released (again, in early access) on September 30th, but we also have the confirmed list of PC requirements!

What Do We Think?
Starting with the specifications, the good news is that they are pretty benign. Even the recommended settings (which can sometimes be a little lofty these days) shouldn’t provide too many difficulties for the vast majority of relatively modern (within the last 3 years) gaming PCs. As for the game itself? Well, Baldurs Gate is an amazing franchise, and, all going well, the third installment should be a worthy new addition to it. With it set to hit early access on September 30th though, we don’t have long to wait before we can find out!
