Larian as surprised by Baldur's Gate 3's colossal Steam success as you are

It may surprise you to learn that Larian Studios, developers of the mega-hit (and very horny) Baldur's Gate 3 did not expect the meteoric rise of the game's popularity on Steam once it left Early Access.

Baldur's Gate 3 peaked at over 814,000 concurrent players on Steam, making it just shy of becoming Steam's biggest release of 2023 so far. As it stands, it's only a few thousands behind Hogwarts Legecay, which is an unusual feat for a systems-heavy single-player RPG.

Considering how long the game has spent in Steam Early Access, Larian rightly thought that its popularity had already peaked.

If you, like me, are determined to perfect your Baldur's Gate 3 persona, then it turns out you're not alone. Larian has unveiled a new Baldur's Gate 3 stat, and it turns out a lot of players are just wiling away the hours creating characters in the RPG game instead of actually, you know, playing it. To be fair, you could just read our Baldur's Gate 3 review instead.

Baldur's Gate 3 is probably not getting an expansion because of D&D's level rules

Baldur's Gate 3 is only a few days old (if you don't count the Early Access journey), and some players are already thinking about the possible ways for an expansion to go. To be clear, developer Larian Studios did not reveal its intention to make an expansion to the its popular game.

However, seeing just how well it's been doing in sales, player numbers - and being the only thing anyone wants to talk about in games right now, sorta opens the door to many 'What's next?' questions.

Larian already said it wants to work on something smaller for its next project, you know, something that doesn't take six years to make. But what about an expansion to Baldur's Gate 3? Well, while the developer has not entirely ruled that out, there is a major concern that would kind of make it a non-starter.
