Baldur's Gate 3 Physical Deluxe Edition Release Planned for Early 2024

Gamers can look forward to Baldur's Gate 3's Deluxe Edition arriving on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X in Q1 of 2024. This edition will offer a unique physical media experience, with the PS5 version containing two discs and the Xbox Series X version including three. The physical release, priced at 79.99 £/€, reflects Larian Studios' commitment to preserving physical media in videogame distribution.

The Deluxe Edition, only available through the Larian Store, boasts a variety of collectibles: an original soundtrack on 3 CDs, a cloth world map, fabric patches, stickers, and an art poster. Despite its comprehensive content, this edition is not a Collector's Edition, reassuring fans who might worry about its availability.

This announcement follows the game's notable success, with Baldur's Gate 3 securing awards at the Golden Joysticks and receiving multiple nominations at the upcoming Game Awards. The official Xbox release date for the game is expected to be announced at the Game Awards on December 7.

Baldur's Gate 3 has earned critical acclaim since its PC debut in August, praised for its engaging combat, story, and rewarding gameplay. The physical edition reflects a blend of modernity and nostalgia as Larian Studios experiments with a more tangible gaming experience in the digital age.
