Baldur's Gate 3 - Steam Charts

An ongoing analysis of Steam's player numbers, seeing what's been played the most.

For context, Larian Studio founder Swen Vincke predicted that the game could reach 100,000 peak concurrent users during its debut period, and that was a fairly optimistic prediction. I work in IT, and really feel for those folks. I hope they designed their infrastructure to scale!

And that’s only Steam, not including GOG, or the influx of PS5 users next month. Let’s take it to 1 million!

      I think many like the DRM free games. I have gotten a few very old games (Ultima series, Neverwinter) from them. I like to use Steam over GOG because of the Big Picture Mode and Proton. I even added GOG Neverwinter to my non-Steam games to be able to access it with Big Picture Mode.
