Baldur's Gate 3 Surpasses 10 Million Players, Mod Support Postponed

The player base of Baldur's Gate 3 has expanded to over 10 million, as confirmed by Michael Daus, head of Larian Studios' publishing department. This remarkable growth from ~2 million to over 10 million players occurred in a short span, prompting the developers to prioritize updates and bug fixes.

Due to the massive influx of feedback from players, the Larian Studios team has focused on creating patches and hotfixes, temporarily delaying the implementation of official mod support. This decision led to compatibility issues with some existing mods, causing dissatisfaction within the community.

Michael Daus has called for calm and support from the community, emphasizing that threats and toxic messages can only harm the development process. He assures that Larian Studios is working for the benefit of the entire community and plans to start introducing official modding tools in the coming months, in collaboration with leading modders.

Baldur's Gate 3, which sold ~2.5 million copies while in early access on Steam, continues to attract gamers worldwide. Details on when exactly the game reached the 10 million player milestone remain unspecified.
