Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Should Have Two Huge Patches Built-in for Launch

I am keeping fingers crossed for cross-platform before I jump in. I would love to play this with some old TTRPG friends (including my wife). Otherwise, I am honestly not a big enough fan of either D&D or CRPGs.

Fantastic! Sometimes I wonder if the extra month wait will be for the better if I'm honest.

I hope the visuals and performance is up to good spec PCs.

Do we know if Baldur’s Gate 3 will have a physical edition on PS5, or is it digital only?

[EDIT] I just found another post here on Push Square from last week, stating there will be a physical release in Japan, but apparently not over here in the UK or Europe and North America, etc.

Oooh, just over a week until I get to play this! Just me, this game and 7 days off work! I’ve been playing through the older Baldur’s Gate games for the first time and it’s made me want this even more!

Increasingly hyped for this. Taking a rare day off to play on day 1 (for the standard edition so Wednesday the 6th)

I'm going to wait a few months, see what everyone has to say about how it runs on the PS5, and hopefully get a few more patches and updates. Then we'll see.

Any idea what the file size is yet?

Shouldn't this be the way release digital and start patching. In the end release a physical package that patched as good as possible.

Given the complexity, as well as talk of increased bugs further into the game, they'll probably be patching this for some time. Like the Divinity games, I really hope this culminates in a physical 'Definitive/Enhanced' edition in a year's time 😀

@Shadcai nothing exact yet, but they say more than 100. From what I have found

@The_Pixel_King Because the game is not being self-published in Japan like it is everywhere else. Someone is paying to make a physical edition that's why they are getting it.

@Shadcai PC is about 130 gigabytes with about 20 gigs swap files.

Waiting until patch 1.04 which is traditionally when the inevitable save data eating bugs get squashed.

@The_Pixel_King Maybe import the Japanese version if it has English as an option - which it should honestly.

@sanderson72 Loved playing the Hoard demo, appreciate the pfp!

I'm still hoping for keyboard and mouse support on the PS5 version, however unlikely that might be. People have been asking Larian about it but they haven't said anything about it and I'm thinking they're not gonna do it. If they had put in keyboard and mouse support, I think they would have just said so and get a ton more sales from that news.

@CastelloGG That’s a niche market. There’s a very small number of people that understand you can even hook up a KB&M on a PS5, and a niche if that small portion that would even do it.
It might be nice for a few people, but it wouldn’t make much of a sales difference.

I’m not getting bg3 day 1, I’m playing though bg1 and 2, torment and Icewind Dale. Shame the source code was lost for Icewind Dale 2 but is on gog, so who probably play that there.

I know you don’t need to play the prequels but bg deserves it!
