One month following the critically acclaimed launch of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC, the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons next-gen from Larian Studios is now available on PlayStation 5.
Features of the PlayStation 5 version
In a post published on the PlayStation Blog, Larian Studios asks an essential question: how to transcribe the handling of an RPG on a controller without compromising on ergonomics?
The answer: the PS5 version of Baldur’s Gate 3 was thought from the start of the game’s development and a lot of work has been done to adapt the complexity of the title using simple buttons and triggers. Use the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller to perform actions, cast spells, take long rests, and pick up objects then becomes a matter of muscle memory.

Once we have put our hands on this PlayStation 5 version, we will complete this article with our ergonomic impressions.
Cross-saves
Baldur’s Gate 3 is compatible cross-saves between platforms, including PC and PS5, allowing players to continue their adventure wherever they are. Saves can be accessed by logging into a Larian account, but no PlayStation Plus subscription or additional purchase is necessary.
Hopefully a cross-play feature will be available in a future update, but nothing has been announced regarding it yet.
Additional platforms
Baldur’s Gate 3 is expected on Xbox by the end of the year and will feature split-screen co-op mode on Series X, as well as cross-saves between the PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox versions.
An official version for Mac is currently planned for the end of September.
Hotfix #5
