In less than 24 hours, the long-awaited Baldur’s Gate 3 will be available on PC. A launch that will be synonymous with downloading for all players, whether they bought the game in early access or are waiting for the release. A situation explained, which divides the players as to the management of the exit by Larian.
Baldur’s Gate 3: the “final” version finally arrives on PC!
The great adventure finally reaches out to us. After six long years of development, and early access three, Baldur’s Gate III is regarding to be released on PC. On PS5, it will be necessary to wait until September 6, when Larian’s game will find itself in front of a certain Starfield. The game will be available tomorrow at 5 p.m. sharp French time, but the launch will not be easy for everyone.
First of all, remember that Early Access saves will not be transferable on the “release” version of Baldur’s Gate 3. Nothing new under the Sun, these incompatibilities were announced from the beginning. With each major patch, players therefore had to start over. It will be the same, Larian having explained that the differences between the different versions were too great so that everything is compatible.
Unfortunately we’re unable to make Baldur’s Gate 3 available for pre-load — Steam doesn’t support pre-load for Early Access titles because switching to pre-load would break the game for people currently playing Early Access.

Yesterday we learned that players will not be able to preload the title, as Steam does not support preloading a “commercial” game from Early Access. Change status to allow preloading of the 122 GB of the game would have the effect of totally breaking it for those who play in early access.
Preloading impossible, risk of conflict… A perilous launch to come
A situation that did not fail to make the players react, especially on Reddit. Some of them rail once morest Steam, others wonder why Larian did not plan the coup by offering the “final” game through a different app or by filing early access into a beta branch. Moreover, Larian strongly encourages players who have already purchased and launched the game to delete all saves, including those stored in the Cloud, then uninstall the title and mods.
This way, when the release version download becomes available, players can perform a clean install. Because yes, the early access saves kept might create conflicts between different files. A small guide to the correct installation should arrive in the next few hours. The launch may therefore be problematic for players with only one small connection, but also for those who have not correctly deleted the files. We hope for everyone that it will go well.
