Baldur’s Gate 3 came out of early access in 2023 and blew a lot of minds–it earned GameSpot’s GOTY award–and even a year later, it’s tough to get it at a reduced price. If you’ve been holding out for a sale, now might be the time to strike: GOG is offering Baldur’s Gate 3 for $48, the lowest price yet for the acclaimed RPG. Yup, Baldur’s Gate 3’s price has behaved more like a Nintendo game than most AAA releases. The 20% discount is only available until September 9 as part of a weekend sale on Larian games.
An isometric, turn-based RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3 puts you in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons. The game is particularly impressive because of the huge amount of choice it often presents you with. You can do some pretty wild stuff with your party of heroes based on the route you decide to take through the game and how you build your character. And famously, you get a whole lot of romance options, including a character in bear form.
GOG’s discount takes 20% off the list price of $60, so while it’s not a huge drop price, it’s still a fairly significant reduction. Steam is also offering the same price of $48 on Baldur’s Gate 3, if you’d rather keep yourself in Valve’s walled garden. Baldur’s Gate 3 is Steam Deck-verified, so if you’re a fan of the handheld, that’d be a good reason to grab it here–but you’ll have to deal with Valve’s digital rights management, while GOG games are all DRM-free. It only takes a few minutes to get GOG games up and running on Steam Deck with the Heroic Games Launcher. The launcher also supports Amazon Games and Epic Games Store, so you can play a lot of weekly Epic and monthly Prime Gaming freebies from those storefronts on Steam Deck, too.
