Baldur's Gate 3 has 10 million players

A senior staff member from Larian Studios recently confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 3 sold more than 10 million copies. He also said there would be “discussions” about the game’s planned mod support but had strong words for some community members.

The developer gave an update on its plans for Baldur’s Gate 3 mod support a few days ago. Larian’s Director of Publishing, Michael Douse, described these plans as “robust” and coming “later in the year.” However, he didn’t offer a specific timetable.

This has led to some less than civil discourse, which prompted a statement from Douse. He said there will be a detailed discussion soon and that the studio’s been working on mod support since launch. He also revealed that the game went from around 2 Million players to “way over” 10 Million in a short period.

This is a game that went from ~2 mil players to way over 10 in a very short space of time, so it’s natural the conversation becomes muddier and complex. But in order to maintain the same level of dialogue, we need people to understand that these conversations take time.

Unfortunately, Douse also had to call out the unfortunate behavior from some Baldur’s Gate 3 community members. “Threats & toxicity against our devs & community teams will only harm the conversation,” said Douse. “Please stop that.” In a follow-up tweet, he acknowledged that the community’s rapid growth makes dialogue between fans and developers more complicated. However, that means people will need to be patient. “In order to maintain the same level of dialogue, we need people to understand that these conversations take time,” he said.

We have a system but it needs to be tested and still requires work. We’re excited about it. I understand that it suck’s when the game is updated and mods break. Our community teams will start talking with and looping in modding community. For now, work continues 🙂
