Baldur’s Gate 3 was instantly recognized by the industry at large as one of the greatest games ever made as soon as it was out, and in the time since then, its legend has only grown. Unsurprisingly, the acclaimed RPG has also continued to sell at an impressive pace, and seems to have crossed another major sales milestone.
As per a report published by the Irish Independent, Baldur’s Gate 3 has sold over 15 million units worldwide across all platforms. In February earlier this year, Larian Studios’ director of publishing Michael Douse stated that the had sold “way over” 10 million units at the time, so clearly, it has maintained impressive momentum with its sales.
The report also states that account filings by Larian Studios show revenues of €427 million for the Baldur’s Gate 3 developer in 2023 (up from €22.7 million in 2022). That also entails €249 million in profits prior to tax. As a result of its hefty profits, the company also paid out €28 million in dividends.
Larian is currently working on yet more features for Baldur’s Gate 3 that will be added with future free updates, though you shouldn’t expect any further Baldur’s Gate content from the studio beyond that in the form of expansions or a sequel. Instead, Larian has two new projects in development, both of which are based on its own IP.
Larian Studios has confirmed that its next game isn’t going to be Divinity: Original Sin 3– though it will eventually happen at some point, apparently, so fans of the series need not worry. Either way, it’s going to be a while before the developer is ready to talk about its next project, so stay tuned for more updates.
