Baldur's Gate 3 Community Aims for Impressive Milestone This Weekend

Posted 2023-08-13 19:15:31

The community surrounding Baldur's Gate 3 is embarking on a collective effort to surpass one million concurrent players on Steam over the weekend. Larian Studios' fully launched RPG has taken the gaming world by storm, even surprising its developers with its remarkable success. Having sold millions of copies and achieved concurrent player counts approaching one million, the game's community is now rallying players to join forces and strive for the significant milestone of reaching one million concurrent players on Steam.

Baldur's Gate 3's accomplishments are already astonishing, even if everyone were to stop playing the game today. While exclusively available on PC, it has garnered exceptional achievements. According to Steam's player tracking data, Baldur's Gate 3 reached a peak of 814,666 concurrent players on Sunday, August 6. Impressively, reports indicate that on that day, the game accounted for 27.5% of all playtime on Steam. Few games can boast such statistics.

The enthusiastic Baldur's Gate 3 community is now uniting to achieve an even more remarkable goal. The call is out for players to log in and actively participate between noon and 7:00 PM PT on Saturday, August 12. The aspiration is that with a concerted effort, Baldur's Gate 3 could potentially reach a cumulative one million concurrent players on Steam.

This endeavor to achieve one million concurrent players doesn't come with any formal reward. It's not initiated by Larian Studios, but rather stems from a passionate faction of Baldur's Gate 3's community who firmly believe that the game deserves this milestone, solidifying its position as one of Steam's most-played titles. At its current standing, Baldur's Gate 3 holds the 9th position on Steam for lifetime concurrent player counts. Reaching the one million mark would elevate it to 6th place, positioned above Elden Ring and just below Cyberpunk 2077.

Although the concerted push for one million concurrent players may not be an absolute necessity, it remains entirely possible that Baldur's Gate 3 could naturally attain this milestone. Some games experience a peak upon release, followed by a gradual decline in player count. Others, like Elden Ring, garner an initial surge in popularity, with sustained momentum fueled by word of mouth and positive reviews. Baldur's Gate 3 could potentially follow a similar trajectory.

Irrespective of whether the one million concurrent player target is reached or not, Baldur's Gate 3 has already solidified its reputation as an exceptional and distinctive game release. It stands on its own merits. However, should Baldur's Gate 3 enthusiasts decide to participate in the scheduled gameplay on Saturday between noon and 7:00 PM PT, Larian Studios would undoubtedly appreciate the additional momentum towards the one million concurrent players milestone on Steam.
